Well, no, because in a typical MUD, the cash is taken out of an
unlimited source, but also disppears (hopefully) in various sinks. If
you balance the two, you don't have a devaluation problem. That's
Achaea's situation currently, for instance, and we've seen almost no
average increase in the amount of wealth the average player has.
