economy on otservers

[Simonp1512]

Hey all, I'm looking for some ideas of this kind of problem

This is the issue: the server has 2 kind of coins "diamond's" and "kks".

Diamonds are the special money you can get by donating(real money)

Kks is the same as always, looting mobs and sell to Npcs

Ok, the server has four months open, and have many high leveled players and have a lot of kks but no body wanna sell items by kks, all players wants diamonds, but the thing is, you have any suggestion for move the kks, I mean, make kks valuable again.

Almost player don't wanna sell diamonds for kks because they think that are unusable. I want to see your ideas

Sorry for my bad English, I know, is a mess. But I do my best xd

the following thread has a lot of ideas for this subject:

Inflation vs Deflation: Tibian Modern Monetary Theory Setup

Edit: Putting last post first Economy, as of 24/04/2016 Tired of seeing your rares, gold and characters on different servers constantly lose value? Argardh: Knights of Tibia will be the first server to promise an active work by developers to make sure that rares and goldcoin does not...

just make systems that require much KKs to get
like dodge system, critical system and you can make a npc sells donation items for KKs- or store -

Let people gamble with crystal to get diamonds. economy = fixed.
Let people gamble with diamonds to get crystal (designed to loop with crystal->diamonds with an overall house-wins bias). people = stupid.
Let people gamble with diamonds to get diamonds. you = rich.

This. Medivia is a great example with their painite crystal / attribute system, it costs a ton of KKs to completely imbue the best items, so the highest level players always have a money sink. Evidently not enough to control inflation, but I guess it helps at least.

Have an NPC that sells addons/outfits/mounts that are only obtainable with tons of KKs, people always like showing off how much money they have/spend.
Just like real life, with stupid stuff like Gucci
