Economy

Soulwyn uses a fully player-driven economy with no admin shops. Every coin in circulation was earned by a player, and multiple money sinks ensure the economy stays healthy and deflationary.

Currency

The sole currency on Soulwyn is Coins. Every player starts with a balance of 0 coins. Coins are earned through trading with other players, selling items on the Auction House, completing contracts, and looting from events.

Player Trading

Direct payments between players use the /pay command. To prevent abuse and encourage face-to-face interaction, both players must be within 10 blocks of each other to complete a transaction. There is no fee on direct payments.

Auction House

The Auction House is the central marketplace for Soulwyn. Players can list items for sale, browse listings, and purchase from anywhere on the server using /ah. A 5% tax is applied to all purchases. This tax is an anti-inflation measure and the coins are permanently removed from the economy.

Teleportation Cost

Using teleportation costs 1 coin per 100 blocks of distance traveled. This makes long-distance travel a meaningful economic decision and encourages players to build infrastructure like roads and nether highways.

Money Sinks

Several systems work together to keep inflation in check and ensure coins retain their value:

• Death Tax: PvP deaths destroy a percentage of the victim's balance
• Claim Upkeep: Alliance territory claims have a daily coin cost
• Auction House Tax: 5% of every purchase is destroyed
• Teleportation Cost: 1 coin per 100 blocks distance

Contracts

The contract system is a player job board. Anyone can create a contract offering coins in exchange for specific items or services. Other players can browse available contracts, accept them, and deliver the requested goods to earn the reward. This encourages cooperation and trade between players who may never meet face-to-face.
