First, we would like to thank everyone who plays Rescreatu. Your continued support has inspired this questionnaire to make sure you get the most out of the game.
In line with the aforementioned, we would like to get some feedback from you regarding the Economy as a whole. We would love to hear your thoughts, may they be positive or negative. These comments and suggestions shall be put into consideration when planning new events, features and improving the general game-play. You might want to organize your feedback according to the following.
CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!! As a token of our appreciation, upon completion of this questionnaire you will be entered into a raffle to win a Full Set of Dye Kits! There will be 3 winners! The deadline to fill out the questionnaire and be entered into the raffle is June 24th, 11:59 PM Res Time, however you are free fill this out at any time of the year even when the raffle has finished! We are always looking to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

As of now, no I do not think there is enough tu to go around. Dye kits are very expensive and so are things to make your pet have an effect (Curse of the Undead, star dust urn, etc). I think lately because people are low on tu they haven't really been wanting to trade for pets. Most users only want and or will accept tu. I think to buy cp with tu is very expensive. The stuff in the cp shop, the prices are fine I think. I usually make tu by the rancher shop, or auctions or raffle. I think it is harder to gain tu. It would e easier if there were like daily raffles/wishing well/ more games. And what really really want to happen for this site is battling. Like there can be an arena where you get matched up with a random opponent and you fight them with your selected pet. And winner can get tu, and some items such as dye kits, potions, cloths. Like actual good stuff. And the loser has to give up tu, like 200k or such. I think battling should always be available.
Hoping this idea is taken into consideration. Best of luck to you. Thank you for the opportunity to keep this site interesting and new and for the raffle prizes (:

First of all Thank u for asking !! ^^
CURRENT STATUS
I feel the Current economy is not doing very good (Well not for me anyway)..sorry to say bt there is not enough tu around for all player to grab.
BUYING AND SELLING
Most things r expensive...like pets(because Kir's food pets getting more nd more expensive),Normal items to cs items nd i am not even talking about retired item,they r too much..no matter what u go to buy its super expensive.
Recently i bought a RRay with 1b which i save from last year october nd some friends help me too.To tell u truth i am getting frustrated with this game,no matter which goal u set its so costly either u have to have lots of patient or just give up. I did spend a lot in last few days like 1.2b bt before that i just keep on saving like all work nd no play,it was dark time for me nd now i am totally broke hahaha.i dont have much tu to go on.Nd no its not easy to buy or sell things coz people dont have enough tu.Thanks
PAYMENT METHODS
yes i buy things with Tu . i dont have nice hatches...i dont even remember last i hatch something good coz it never happens.nd for new player how is it possible to obtain nice items??most cool items here considered as cs items or retired items.so yea i wait nd wait nd wait for saving nd buy with tu which i did a RRay lol
INFLATION / DEFLATION
Our economy has inflated.Sorry to say i dont remember about the exact time line bt at least in my point of view i can list some the causes...
1.There is not sufficient pets in color or items So with few its bound to go high nd its like "u either buy with high price or give up lol".
2.For pets k1r is a big fact like how he keep asking for bino..after struggling for some time i decided to give up on K1r (i dont have enough tu or recourse to go on , so sorry).
3.Cp is costly nd few people can afford so Cs item gets so much costly.
Thanks
CASH SHOP
I buy Cp from other player once or twice. Rn Going rate of cp is 500k-600k per i think nd i find it too much expensive for me.I do not buy items from cs shop coz its too expensive to afford for me.Thanks
GAINING TU
Stock mainly bt it take a lots of time so it is hard.I dont know how to earn tu much easier honestly bt i dont like it..like no good hatch or good market system i feel exhausted to be here. Thanks
NEW FEATURES
I dont care actually coz with my luck no matter what new thing u add it wont work for me .Thanks
Again Thanks for dong this..to tell u the truth i am thinking of quieting.Even though i kinda like this game it did not show me any good time except for Res society..The only reason i am still here coz of u people <3 or i would have gone a long time ago..Hey i have a suggestion..Recently there r lot of player quiting so do ask them why they doing it please..it may help in many Way.

CURRENT STATUS
I dont think the issue is having too much/ too little Tu in the system I think the biggest issue is circulation.
I feel like some players hoard TU and have no real interest in putting that TU back into circulation because after awhile they have no real interest in the usual pets/ items and only seem to buy names and other items to sell for a profit??
(I wish I could get to that point xD)
Which brings me to:
I get the sense that Rescreatu is in a "The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer" limbo, i'm honestly not sure if I'm the only one with this feeling??
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
Hmm, what I consider too cheap/ too expensive is quite a hard question to answer.
The only thing I can really think to say is that I find the "standard" price for natural CS pets far too low (about 3-7mil??) These pets are essentially brought with hard earned real money (yes, yes people can buy CPs/ CS eggs off other players for TU but someone down the line did spend real money on them ;D) and its such a small chance of hatching a colour that you pretty much get /nothing/ back from your purchase.
A few years ago there was an April fools prank where it said K1R would start asking for CS pets and honestly I think a mini-event along them lines would be hugely beneficial if implemented properly, though I can see how implementing it in a sensible, fair way would be tricky to think of.
I think the most expensive thing I've brought in the last 180 day is an ivik egg for 350mil (I think xD) which was hell to get, I even brought some CPs to sell as a get rich quick cop out because I was having to undercut just to shift anything at a half decent rate which I honestly hate doing (but the Ivik was a gift so I was in a bit of a rush aha |D imsosorry)
In all honesty I've been finding it hard to buy AND sell things at the moment, stocks have been rather terrible, I don't really have anything that I want to sell
PAYMENT METHODS
I've found that most people want TU as payment but I'f it's something that I really, really want or that has some kind of meaning to me then I'll occasionally splash out and buy Cps to offer/ sell. I find that there are very few people who will take pets/ items unless it's a rather large over payment on the buyers side and that's still only if they're lucky enough to find someone who will trade.
INFLATION / DEFLATION
It's hard to pin point an exact time when prices changed as a whole, there are a few examples where you can pin point where a certain items price changed. For example when Black Market Malcolm started kicking people out dye kit prices rose. When the CS/ CP changed, most of the CP item/ pet prices rose etc, etc
There's another side of this where I kind of link back to what I said earlier, I feel like the richer users have a bit of an advantage over the economy and just keep getting richer??
CASH SHOP
I occasionally buy Cps if I realllly want something or if there's a species in the CS that I really love ( such as Shaefu). I used to buy Cps quite a alot but honestly (and I've probably mentioned this far too much) I got a bit fed up of having no real return on my purchase. So much stuff in the CS is left to chance, eggs, beans, RMP that it's just not worth it any more.
I think that CPs are quite expensive in regards to a virtual currency, though I have to admit that I'm not overly sure on "special cash shop currency prices" on other virtual pet sites. once again, especially with how many items are reliant on chance, and i feel like these items are the ones that most users are after.
I think the going rate for CPs in Tu is pretty fair (500-600k per)
oh man, i'm just going to be repeating myself again here aha, sorry in advance.
I feel like the CS egg nest are too expensive?? I mean, if you plan to hatch them that's $20 for a huge rise of getting anything worth while back ozl
I would love to see something more certain, special CS effects (not just cosmic, maybe something like a "Royal" effect??) THE FA SHOP :D!!! and something that kind of... i don't know, contributes to game play a bit more?
GAINING TU
pftt at the moment I get most of my Tu just from stocks, but i'm terribly lazy and I like keeping my hatches for my self so I know that there are other ways to make TU here.
I think once you get going it does get a bit easier to make TU, especially if you've invested alot in the stocks over the years but it can be a long, drawn out wait to get the ball rolling.
NEW FEATURES * higher release price for nattie Cs??
*more games- tu sinks
*higher starting TU price for new players

CURRENT STATUS The economy is stagnant. Names are NOT a good thing to try to sell as there are very few good names left, and those that are, even I'm not willing to let go of for more than the figurative arm and a leg. Stocks are the biggest money maker aside from CS items in merchant shops, however, patience is required.
The biggest problem with the economy is for new players. Old, established players have items of value that people will come asking for even if they're NOT willing to sell. New players pretty much have to sell their hatches in order to make a reasonable amount of TU in order to get started.
Is there enough TU to go around? Yes indeed, there is. But the older, established players have it and new folks simply have nothing of value except an occasional lucky hatch, their daily hatches, or finding eggs/names as a way to make TU themselves.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
PAYMENT METHODS I much prefer to buy and sell with TU. I'll take cash points as well, and even buy cash points with TU, but that simply allows me to bypass the need to purchase cash item shops with my own cash.
INFLATION / DEFLATION Prices for most creatu are pretty much the same as they were five years ago. Rare event items are another matter. Some have gone through the roof, others have not. It depends on the demand and rarity of a particular item. The inflation on natural retired CS creatu is completely understandable while the low price on current natural CS creatu is almost pitifully low compared to the asking price for a black. I've noticed seasonal pets are also pretty much treated like regular creatu as well.
CASH SHOP Once upon a time, I would have been willing to drop 20 a month on cash points for CS eggs. Not so much these days. They've turned out to be disappointing as it can take dozens of hatches to get a black. At this point, I'd rather wait for someone to sell a black or better and just spend TU.
GAINING TU I've sold a few names, especially those that multiple people have requested, but that's not a steady source of income and it gets hard to sell really good names for low prices that people seem to want to buy them for. The name of the pet here is behind the entire story of the pet, and if I manage to grab a good name, then later decide to sell it, I don't want someone turning around and selling it for a giant profit. I've also sold a few rare, retired items and retired CS eggs and creatu for a good profit, but once again, that's not a steady source of income, just a temporary boost.
As for the rest, I do the daily games for a max gain of 100k, sell rare eggs in the egg market on occasion and play stocks. Very rarely someone will look for a dye kit and I'll happen to have one to part with, but the profit on those is low, even with my discount card.
Pets tend to sit in the rancher shop even if they've got good colors, but that is in part because I dislike advertising every half hour to get folks attention.
NEW FEATURES
But before new features:
Fix Kir. Seriously. At the VERY least, give players the option to back out of the trade for a specific cooldown period. One day, three days, even a week if you really want. Uldavians are supposed to love all our creatu, not just the rarer ones. To them, they are ALL rare.
Collections need to be caught up. There are so many items with no purpose on the site, and some are pretty rare.
As for new features:
Egg quest definitely. I've already mentioned that one... with rewards based on the current average. Include seasonal eggs and give players the option to pass a certain number of times per day!
You need more quests with very common items for decent TU rewards for new folks, not just collection items (that don't have collections to put them in).
Also, more quests that occasionally offer rare rewards that people want. Items the same quality as the cash shop, but only available through those quests. These quests can be slightly harder than novice.
And a Trivia game would be extremely nice.
Get those summer events going as well. You've got a long break between Easter and Halloween events with nothing but dailies to do. I know there are at least two that were started and were never repeated.

CURRENT STATUS The economy is in a state where the wealth is way too concentrated - and I'm saying this as somebody who has little issues with generating it currently. Newbies can't hope to buy things without help, and it's ridiculous
BUYING AND SELLING I've mostly been waiting on new features and buying food so I can't really answer this accurately. Which in and of itself is an issue - The only thing that really hurts me, tu wise, is pets at this point. Heck, I tend to feel bad when filling my food bank because I wipe out the stores when I do
PAYMENT METHODS Tu, and don't tend to notice
INFLATION / DEFLATION Inflated as all heck. Happened sometime between the great reset back when I joined and now - I remember being able to buy Omni for like a few mil
CASH SHOP CP is pretty much finr
GAINING TU Stock market. It's incredibly safe to the point that it's basically the rich version of dailies to me - You can recover from crashes by waiting it out. As for ways to generate it, I cannot think of any
NEW FEATURES Either houses or ways to dress up the pets. Would cost tu to furnish/dress up, but it would help cycle tu in a new way n the case of homes as right now furniture is... Useless
Also add in illnesses - I put up a thread in the past explaining ways it could work, and it would really help cycle tu more - especially if players under, say, a few million tu could get their pets healed up for free. It would cycle money out of the hands of those with it, and worst case scenario, it becomes rich buying from rich rather than new players getting hit with yet another charge

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
Fam, I tell you, this is like the great depression of res. Not enought tu is going around fam.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
The most expensive that I can bring my head around would be a bunch of blondes I bought from Alien, and 200 cp from Roosiket. For me, it's been super hard to sell expensive stuff on res. But fairly easy to sell cheaper stuff (hatches)
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I like to pay in TU. But when I am really despterate, i'll crack out the CP. It's more successful to buy stuff with tu since everyone is lacking in tu ;-;
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
Yep. If anything it's Stagflation.
I remember Albino costing like 15mil in 2013/2014. and now it's like 40-45mil for one.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
CP IS JUST FINE FAM. DON'T TOUCH CP PLS FAM.
I buy tons of cp. I purchanse CP as soon as I have tu, or as soon as I see a seller. Lately i've seen it go for 550k, which tbh isn't that bad but isn't ideal.
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
Stock market, selling rareish items. I'm not sure how it would be easier to obtain tu. Maybe if we oculd get the economy booming again?
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
The Luck games. Literally playing those games. Gives you close to no tu. Heck it can't even buy you a pizza on res.
Upgrade their amounts by 100x
That'll get some tu in the market.
But probably not get rid of the inflation.

CURRENT STATUS Personally, I don't feel there is enough TU to go around right now. It's just so hard to earn enough TU to even get any decent items like Dye Kits, etc.
BUYING AND SELLING I would consider cheap to be anything under 100,000, and expensive I would consider anything that's in the millions (if its not reasonable.) The most expensive thing I've bought was probably a creatu for 400,000 TU. It's been hard for me, being a rancher, to sell my creatu, and the auction is the way I usually sell my items and pets, which works better.
PAYMENT METHODS I usually only pay with TU since I'm newer.
INFLATION / DEFLATION I personally wouldn't know since, again, I'm a newer player and have only been playing a couple of weeks, but I'd say theres inflation right now.
CASH SHOP I don't buy or sell cash points. But I do think items sold in the cash shop are sold for a good price.
GAINING TU My main way of getting TU is doing the luck games, stocks, or selling items and pets. I think its easy to make TU, but hard to make enough TU to buy expensive items. To make TU easier to obtain, maybe we should allow players to have access to both rancher and merchant shops.
NEW FEATURES Maybe the egg quest sounds cool. :D

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?) I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand I have enough tu, and after spending most of it I can make it back. But it takes a LONG time and not buying ANYTHING except food to feed my creatu. So I don't feel like there is too little TU to go around. On the other hand I agree with Zen, the circulation of tu is like the Hoover Dam. We have one side of Res that is super rich and on side that is poor and there never really seems to be an in between.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?) I'm horrible at pricing but I would say anything that alters what the creatu looks like after hatching is expensive, and food is really cheap. The most expensive purchase I made in the last 180 days was Chabi my new nattie Kioka for 85mil. It's been a bit harder to sell creatu in the past 180 days and I have been stuck on my K1R quest because no one is selling a bino easero but I haven't noticed too much of a difference.
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?) I pay for things in TU always. I don't like trading unless I am looking to keep the creatu I would be trading for. But most creatu I buy are K1R food.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.) Dye kits used to cost less I think? I haven't noticed a real change, probably because it has been so gradual.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?) I've been told 1CP converts to 500k-600k TU? That seems like a lot but then again I rarely ever deal with CP anymore. After I got a call from the bank about suspicious purchases from when I bought CP, though I knew those purchases were mine, it really put me off buying CP.
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?) I mainly make TU from waiting out the Stocks, speaking of Stocks they've not been very good in a while and some stocks that used to be really good are now awful, and the stocks that are good rarely ever dip below 100. I make some TU from my rancher shop but that is rare. Making TU from my rancher shop would be easier if more really old accounts got cleared and some good names opened up that I could sell if I got lucky enough to snag one.
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?) I would add some more actual games if you could. Res can get really repetitive and boring in-between events. They would be free games that gave out TU depending on your score and if you make it into the top 10 on the leaderboard, a random dye kit. Making it into the top 3 could result in one random Cash Shop item (only on the 50CP and below items). I think another comet/stardust event would be nice too, there aren't many stardust urns left for the non-cp buying population.

CURRENT STATUS I make tu just fine so there is plenty but if you don't know how to run stocks its hard to make money I am not into art or anything like that so other ways of making money would be great. Also the fact that trying to hatch a new pet and naming it is so crazy doesn't help if I where to hatch something now and try to name it I doubt I could find a name that isn't already taken that is a word or words... Why cant every pet on Res just have an ID number?
BUYING AND SELLING Seeing as how I make good money on stocks and currently have almost a billion tu I would say 20 million is an average price for me expensive is 100 million or more. Cheap is anything under 10 million. I have made around 50 million or more within the last 180 days and spent nothing I am waiting on something worth while to spend tu on.
PAYMENT METHODS I ALWAYS buy with tu I never put real money into a game I know it supports the game but I cant justify it to myself to spend money on pixels
INFLATION / DEFLATION We have had a major Deflation honestly used to high colored pets used to be worth a lot but now they are cheap in comparison to when I first joined. The market has been flooded with eggs and pets there should be a way to delete them from the game or something to make colors more rare the forest isn't a fix and neither is the releasing of a hatched pet even though it helps and I wouldn't get rid of it. And the KIR quest yea I get to an albino pet and I am like I am not giving mine up and so I cant get rid of any of my naturals or low colors so that in my opinion doesn't work either
CASH SHOP I buy CP form other users only never from the game and hardly ever from users.
GAINING TU Stocks are the only way I make tu and its pretty easy for me at least.
NEW FEATURES BATTLE ARENA, BATTLE DOME anything where we can level our pet and find food and eggs and other things there. I know its been released as a youtube video about battling and it looks awesome but only if its worth it. If leveling in battles and such isn't prized in Res and users paying high dollar for hard work then I see no reason for it to be applied.
PS
Sorry if I am negative but I really dont play often any more and I want to I like the graphics and pets I have but I have no reason to when I can spend 5 minutes and be done with anything I want to do here.
Selling Zaps for 50k Each! Rmail me...

CURRENT STATUS Haven't been here very long, so I don't really have much of a perspective on this. I'm used to sites where currency is dealt in 100k units, rather than millions.
BUYING AND SELLING Considering it's taken me this long to make 6mil tu, I have to say that the stuff I'm selling (eggs, mostly) is cheap, but I've seen pets that go for upwards of 100 mil. I'd imagine it'd be harder to sell pets and the like because they are so expensive, but have not bothered to try yet myself.
PAYMENT METHODS I use tu because I'm too broke to afford cp.
INFLATION / DEFLATION N/A: I haven't been here for long enough to give an answer.
CASH SHOP Never used CP.
GAINING TU I make most of my tu in the egg marketplace because i tend to pick up a lot of rare eggs I don't need while looking for the eggs I want. If I work at it, I can make about 1mil tu a day, but apparently that's relatively low.
NEW FEATURES New methods to make tu would be welcome, maybe something like a coliseum or more games that have a higher daily limit. I'd also love to see new effects for the creatu, the ones we have now look lovely.
Thanks for doing this! |

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?) I feel like their is not enough Tu to go around. A lot of people have either a lot of tu they don't spend, or people who have little tu that actually want to save money.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days? It has been very easy to sell goods such as clothing items but my creatu in my rancher have been very hard to sell. My highest purchase would be 35 million for my cp. PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)it's easy to buy things besides Tu or cp. I sell a lot of my pets or items to get what I want. I don't have a lot of ti to buy things.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)I think things a totally in inflation. One of these examples are trance potions. They used to be like 10-11 million.they are now 13 million or more. I think this is more expensive because more pets have the color looking trance effect and people want it.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)cp is expensive! I don't usually pay or buy cp unless for creatu eggs since they are 40 million in exchange for 80 cp instead of 50 million in egg market. I think cp is very expensive and a lot of people aren't selling cp anymore, making people less likely to buy anything.
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)I think it's hard to gain Tu. stokes aren't helping and my egg hatch colors are weak. I think we need more games- maybe more tu raffle prizes.
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?) I don't really think the feature could change. I think creatu could be a prize. It could be free and can only be accessible during the last day of each month! Kinda like the forest dump! |

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
It is my opinion that there is too much tu going around. Tu is constantly generated by users playing the stock market, but there just aren't enough "tu sinks" to get rid of the excess, which causes inflation. Besides that, it takes time to save up to even invest in stocks, and even longer to see a reward from them. I feel that while the amount of tu in the game keeps growing, not enough of it is put into circulation, causing many users to amass piles of tu with nothing to do with them.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
Certainly the prices of nearly all NPC shop items and pets have inflated to a degree that people can cringe to see the prices. In the last 180 days, my most expensive purchase was a Bloody Footprints HA item for 70m. While it is possible to make money as a merchant, most user shop prices are grossly overpriced; it is often a lot cheaper to simply purchase items from NPC shops.
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I often pay for items with CP. Rarely, with pets and items. The few pets and items I keep are precious to me; the rest are sold, if people are willing to buy. Occasionally I will purchase CP, but not often, as I cannot always afford it.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
Oh, I would completely agree that the Resconomy (I coined it!) is disgustingly inflated. When I first joined Rescreatu, one was able to buy natural retired pets for only 1m tu. Granted, it was somewhat difficult to save up that amount, but not nearly as hard as it is to save the amount for a natural retired today. As stated above, I believe that the stocks have played a great deal in causing this inflation.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
If I do purchase CP, it is usually to buy a CS shop item for myself. Occasionally I will purchase the CP to sell to other users, though this occurs even less frequently than the occasion on which I purchase CP in the first place. As for the going rate, I find 500k to be quite fair for one CP. Likewise, items bought with CP (and only CP) usually have quite static prices compared to items acquirable with tu.
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
I have begun a chart in which I track how much tu I have made each day. I will try to post results to my tle="" target="">blog each day.
At the beginning, it is relatively hard to make tu in the game. You have to rely on luck to be able to purchase items/hatch colored pets that people will want to purchase. However, once you have a somewhat sustainable income, it gets much easier to make tu. Once you earn enough, you can invest in stocks, and with patience, make even more tu than you had before, turn around, and invest it again, etc. etc.
As for editing current features which contribute to the Resconomy, I would suggest: 1) Further limiting stock purchases 2) Limiting the range that stocks can achieve (perhaps no higher than 400 per share, as stocks have been known to reach 800+) 3) Skipping Kir quests/other quests for a substantial fee 4) Tax on auctions and such (keeping only 90-95% of winnings, etc)
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
Obviously, Res needs more tu sinks to keep inflation from rising even higher. While Kir has somewhat helped with that aspect, getting rid of excess creatu and raising almost non-existent creatu prices, prices are now high enough for creatu that it almost isn't worth doing Kir anymore.
Suggestions for tu sinks:
1) A shop where you donate a set amount of tu and in return receive a random egg of the rarity assigned to that tu amount. 2) A similar shop where certain amounts of donations give the user a chance to win a random, unnamed pet, whose color rarity is also assigned to the amount of tu donated. 3) Instead of "newbie packs" generating even more tu that isn't needed into the Resconomy, give users the chance to donate tu into a sort of well, where amounts are rationed out to new players. Users who donate could also receive a random price for the act of donating. 4) A second raffle, one could be drawn every month/every other month. This would have no limitations as to the number of tickets purchased (a feature which if I remember correctly was quite popular before the Weekly Raffle was set to 1000 tickets a day, as everyone wanted to enter for the chance to win). There would be six winners: One main prize winner of 30% of the pot, two winners of 15%, and three winners of 5%. The remaining 25% would be the "winning tax" of the raffle, and be taken out of the Resconomy.
These are just suggestions. Feel free to thumb them up or down, or even elaborate. I am quite tired, so I fear my thought processes are not at their best.
I will add more suggestions if I think of them.

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
The economy is in a bit of a rut, not much is in circulation because not many people are buying from merchants and such and many prices are maxed out. Although many users have millions upon millions of tu, desired things like dye kits and effect items as well as special creatu eggs are just way too expensive
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
Expensive for me is above 5 million tu, cheap is below 1 million. The most expensive purchase I've made was a gold dye kit, cost about 12 million. It's very difficult to sell goods as a merchant, not many people are looking for the items you have, buying goods however is pretty simple.
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I only use tu to buy things. Other methods are complicated and not much worth the hassle.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
It is a bit inflated. Stuff in merchant shops and at the black market cost millions, and for a lot of players that's not really a difficult amount to get and spend, it's kinda weird that most users have millions and millions of tu. I've been playing off and on for 4 years, so I can't say exactly when this happened, but it's definitely gotten worse.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
I have never used the cash shop or cash points and I still don't quite know how either of them work. But I think I know that rare eggs are sold there, and it's honestly just easier buying them from other players. (that's what's in the shop right? been on this site 4 years and I still don't get it)
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
I usually depend on finding random tu on planets to make quick money, otherwise I keep a pretty unsuccessful merchant shop stocked up. Most of my tu came from older pet auctions I hosted a while back. A lot of things you have to buy in merchant shops are between 100,000 and 99,000,000 tu. It just seems like everything costs a lot, and it's hard to save up when no one is taking your offers.
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
I've always sort of had the idea of an npc shop of sorts where you could input a rare or old item (or any item) and the storekeeper offers a price for you, and the price of each item is randomized but within a certain range in a certain amount of time. Some prices in merchant shops are just ridiculous. |

CURRENT STATUS I agree that there's too little tu, I'll never get my hands on most of my goals but there's a HUGE importance to having some goals be unobtainable.
BUYING AND SELLING I buy main creatu, it's the only reason I play. Regarding cheap and expensive, cheap is any blonde creatu and down, meaning that leaves albino and achromatic as expensive and that is a HUGE let down. ):
PAYMENT METHODS Tu, Tu, and Tu.
INFLATION / DEFLATION Goodness it has inflated quite a bit, I'd say it's because less people play deep enough into the game to get all the rare things nowadays so supply and demand has res beat.
CASH SHOP I think it's just right where it's at in terms of conversation rates. I only ever buy eggs from the credit shop, I spoil myself with aerix every year it rolls around. I also went nuts for the omni and liyure released. Take all my money thanks.
GAINING TU I gain tu literally one way. Stocks. Hatching an albino is rare and still doesn't get me anywhere near the funds I need for my goals.
NEW FEATURES I literally came to this thread for one reason, I don't need dye kits or spoils. I just want to point out that this site needs more colors. A lot of colors. Mix up some colors, go crazy with colors. Add stackable colors, add spots, add something. People love OAK because they can have unique pets, give creatu the change to be more unique. Albino aerix? Got it. You got it too? Oh everyone has it? That's boring. The staple of the site is pets, I wish there were more to do with them than hatching a handful of generic colors. Please add more stages/designs/whatever it is you can think of.

CURRENT STATE
Gonna have to agree with Rin on this one. It's like the Great Depression in here, you literally have to pay an arm and leg, maybe even some human sacrifice just to get something good 😂. There's not enough TU passing around. I remember when it wasn't like this years ago.
BUYING AND SELLING
My memory isn't the best thing in the world but I do remember purchasing a Dry Blood Necklace for 40k. Didn't look THAT expensive in my eyes. I have the habit of entering words in the search bar to see anything that catches my eye but I don't like buying things over 20-30k.
PAYMENT METHODS
I only pay in TU. Paying with real money makes me feel bad as I don't have much to begin with.
INFLATION / DEFLATION
Well, things were fine years ago. Everyone gave a reasonable price for pets and items that weren't overly expensive, especially seasonal or retired items. Now all I see is people asking for a ridiculous amount of TU for things like the "I" alphabet squishy or even common eggs. It doesn't help that lots of people have these awesome items, pets and clothes, and the feeling of unfairness usually accompanies me on a regular basis, especially when they want at least 450mil just for an item I clearly see as something not expensive. So yes, outrageous inflation on things that are obviously not necessary...
CASH SHOP
Don't buy or sell CP. Can't afford it either.
GAINING TU
Honestly, I've never tried stocks before. I'm paranoid of failing miserably at this kind of thing in real life and in games. Too much risk. I gain TU by occasionally selling pets (even though the only real auction I've set up is the Derp Murren), playing dailies (mind you, it is not enough...), and selling hatches here and there. I don't bother with raffles as the rich usually win it.
NEW FEATURES
Seriously need some games that give you a decent amount of TU every day. Usually I get less than 30k for all the Luck games but that's if it is a good day. I'm lucky to even get 50k at all! The suggestion with the egg game sounds promising. I like new things to happen instead of waiting for a holiday to grace the world, so I'd be pretty excited if there were frequent events with a good chance of earning TU and cool items for everyone to have. The Kir quest needs fixing though. |

CURRENT STATUS Well this is odd to explain..But in the past it's been a good flow of tu going around. Now-days its a bit tough to make tu. the big res players will hoard tu,and us regular players.. want to buy things we need or dont have.. So..its hard fo us to find buyers..to make tu. I feel like items too..have been getting more pricey, like in the NPC shops..and it seems unfair that,its harder to make tu now,and be able to afford shop items. I feel like..tu isent flowing around enough correctly. I try and spread tu out when I shop, but its hard to do. I know there are stocks..but,like myself the stocks don't seem to work right. NOW, arround holiday or events..tu seems to be more spread.
BUYING AND SELLING I say some thing over a 200% in increase is price is too much. And I actually been seeing that. Let me see...I'd say the biggest thing i bought within 180 days, would be.. well in the NPC shops..would be pizza. Like whole pizzas not slices. Waaaaay too much for what pizza used to cost. As other stuff I bought an albino zaphao for 45mil. Which is somthing,i didnt want to do,but HAD to for my collection.Albinos used to be 28mil to 32mil. and it was super hard to make tu to get it in time. it's not been easy to sell, because I look towards big players to buy things they may want from me to earn tu. But,i loose out on what i HAVE to sell that could sell, to get somthing else. And no,like i said its not easy to buy, because i have to make to buy.
PAYMENT METHODS I pay with TU always,unless I trade item and pets. Because no everyone can afford credit cards, and spend online. Stuff thats bought with credits and cash..is waaay, more then buying thing with tu. In a way its good. Because people can trade all these things. it keeps a ballance. If this site was only based on paying with real money..this place would be very dead.
INFLATION / DEFLATION I can see if some thing becomes 'rare' and 'retired' that it would cost more. for rarity. I get that. But,I have seen things rise in prices that ARENT. Like I said..food for pets,squishies,stuff in NCP shops. People that start out on res have it hard. I know i did,and that was back when ncp shops, didnt raise prices. I hear cs shop has raised a tiny bit. and when they ask for tu for cs things...its had been risin because they have to pay more,so its harder to save up. I understand..the more people the more things cost. But usually thats when things run out or run low. I think things were cheaper..because there were..more big players. people wanted to 'share' more. There still are nice players.. but most have left...because most of the reasons are that, they spent too much real money to make others happy.
CASH SHOP Like I said,i cant buy anything from there. And again,i did see some item raise in price. Some items i dont get,like the star dust urn. why is it 50?? when the effect isent rare. not the the comic effect. Name tags..you can kill pets,and rename,why are they so much. seem like sometimes..a name is worth changing..but not when its 7mil,for each name when you have to buy with tu. Simple items,seem too much at times. it is just pixels..but i am unshure how much it takes to pay the artists,and to pay to keep the game running. not shure if these items are at fair price.
GAINING TU At the beginning. Its super hard.when you first join you only get very little. For the fact of paying for food and clothing. You can play the games..for tu..but they only let you win so much. Maybe when people join that could be raised a tiny bit. But,the main ways to make tu..is,litterly for your time. because you have to hunt..like for eggs or event items, and sell and try to compete against others that set lowest prices. Its hard..starting out..and if you luck is right,it gets better. good hatches,good dips..trying to find good names. You work hard to earn tu. I guess it is kinda fair..but,its kinda hard keeping up with making money,to earn it..to spend it. since items you want more are like millions more. Or..billions. Right now..its harder to gain.
NEW FEATURES PLEASE for the love of RES, don't make everything cost REAL money! People will leave! I'd have to leave. Anyways.. that goes to this answer.. If you make make some one pay for a game to earn, alot more..then this should be somthing hard to do. Because you'll get more from your work to earn it. I have been wanting some FREE games..to help earn tu. Like a slot mechiene..casino kinda thing. all based on luck and chance. So,if you loose.. you dont loose anything by buying the game. and if you win..then you win. And you should be able to play more then once a day. And make some secret BIG winnings. Can be items,..but mostly tu. Maybe..have more 'walk around and find' items.for everyday..maybe have it where an ncp shop character lost an item,and you find it.. send it into the shop,and they will reward you with ncp shop credit. Stuff like these..can make things a bit better. And doing this is better then doing nothing.
In 38 colors, and a thousand black Gondras later... I rise over my Army as the Gondra Queen! \r\n  \r\n\r\n |

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
I myself haven't really been paying attention to the economy in the last little while. I mainly stick to myself, check my stocks, maybe chat a little in the SB but it has come to my attention that the rich users tend to stay rich, while new players and others who don't have much tu are staying poor. It costs a lot to buy rare items compared to a few years ago. I think it's because a lot of older users are leaving, and keeping their tu and rare items on their account. People just aren't spending their tu on many things anymore - I can attest to that. I've been saving for a coloured retired CS pet and have not spent much tu in the last few months.
BUYING AND SELLING (What
would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying
or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made
within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier
to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
To me, 10 million tu is cheap. Heck, I'd say up to 50m. I don't think I've made any noteworthy purchases in the last 6 months... maybe retired cs eggs when they were out? I bought those for probably 400-600 million tu. Other purchases would be normal cs eggs.
PAYMENT METHODS (How
do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy
to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I usually just use tu. I don't like to take anything other than tu when selling things either.. I have a hard time trying to negotiate with pets because they could hold different values for different people. CP is a pretty good and easy currency to trade with; if I couldn't use tu, I'd use CP.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would
you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if
so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible
please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
I think it inflated between 2010-2013. Probably when the original CS pets retired, and I feel like even normal CS pets nowadays are more expensive than they were in previous years. Stocks definitely add to the inflation, pumping tu into the game like a machine. I quite enjoy stocks myself, however. Haha.
CASH SHOP (Do
you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else
on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What
would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this
amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold
in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
I only ever buy/sell CP when the retired CS egg events are happening. I'd say the going rate is good at 500k/CP. It's not too expensive for my tastes, people seem willing enough to buy it. I don't really buy CP with tu to turn it around and sell it again. I feel like items in the CS shop could be a little cheaper, but it's fine because I feel there isn't that many people buying CP and the site needs to make money somehow.
GAINING TU (What
is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy
or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too
hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
I use the stock market, and sometimes hatch eggs. It's way easier to make tu once you have a couple million in the bank to use on stocks. If the stocks were taken out, we would definitely need a replacement to make tu because the quests and such just don't generate enough. Stocks make it quite easy to get tu once you know what to buy.
NEW FEATURES (If
you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would
the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it
be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
Maybe they could add some flash games to play and get tu with, but they would have to add a daily tu or daily play limit so it isn't an endless tu generator. Free to play, probably. They could add some gambling games too that cost tu to play. Any games costing CP to play would be unfair unless CP cost less to buy. I can't really think of any other features to add atm.

CURRENT STATUS (How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
I dont think the problem is how much tu is around as much as it is players finding a way to make the tu.
BUYING AND SELLING (What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
Cheap and expensive completely depends on the person. Im currently sitting on about 18 mil tu. So for me expensive is 10 mil or more where as the newer members struggling more 100k is expensive.
The most expensive thing i bought? I dont remember hoestly. Ive been impulse buying things a lot lately.
Its been easier for me to buy than sell. Most of my squishies wont sell because there isnt that much of a demand for them.
PAYMENT METHODS (How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I pay in strictly tu except for the one time i bought cp. Everything is autobuy from rancher shops.
INFLATION / DEFLATION (Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
I havent been on enough to actually know the answer to this. But what i do know is that inflation and deflation has happened drastically because of demand. The things nobody wants sells for 1 tu while things people want/beed are way up to unreachable prices. Like wyrea. They are so expensive even someone like me with 18 mil cant reach it.
CASH SHOP (Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
Res has to make some money somewhere to keep going. The cash shop prices are fair and not too much and not too little. I bought cp once but probably wont buy it again for quite some time.
GAINING TU (What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
My tu making method is the stock market. But honestly if you dont have the tu to start out you cant get anywhere very fast. You need starting tu to invest.
Tu isnt hard to get but its just tedious enough that it makes people not want to do it. Making it harder will just push people to quit.
NEW FEATURES (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
None that i can think of right now. |
