  1. What? Real life tax is made for a reason.

  2. This is a joke... :D
    How did all of this EMC tax discussion stuff even start? Was it announced in-game?

    EDIT: RainbowChin liked this post, so the tax stuff may be a joke!

  3. Anybody else thinking that this could be to control the economy as well as contribute to the prize fund? I mean, I like the idea and all, but a lot of my rupees are going to be flushed if this comes around.

    We can throw the cocoa beans over the side and protest.

  7. Why would EMC need a tax for? It's not like they need rupees to maintain the server.

  8. Prize fund and also to control the economy. If EMC just poured artificial (so to speak) rupees and items into the system then things may start to go downhill, like in Germany in the 1920s with the Depression due to Germany printing tons of cash to pay off debts and ended up making the money worthless. EMC doesn't want the money worthless, in fact, EMC wants the value of the rupee to go up.

  9. Because of reasons I prefer to keep to myself for now I'm pulling out of this discussion for today to carefully think about my next moves.

    I know what I did, I'm not going to make drama of it (I also won't apologize for it), but I am a bit disappointed in the way things turned out right now.

    Sincerely, Peter

  14. Oh yeah, I know, perhaps I should've worded that differently. I mean they aren't doing this just to imitate real life: it has a purpose, other than being realistic.

  15. The tax rate should be around .01%. There are about ~2,000,000,000 rupees in existence on EMC (I think) and .01% of that is 200,000r.
