Hello economists!
Welcome to the very first edition of Economical Point where we go through anything related to meepcraft´s market in contemplation of having the best market possible. I guess we could call this a pilot so make sure to like and comment on this post to show me your feedback. Today, we are going to give a comprehensive breakdown to Hornemans´s post "Monthly Wealth Report March 2018".

This post is a series of data with many statistics about meepcraft´s wealth (like the name suggests). Hornemans kindly enabled us to have the cleanest data possible by dividing the numbers into various charts containing information varying from the wealth distribution to the average player balance.

Now, without further ado, let us start with the first pack of stats Hornemans gave us. The meepcraft economy balance is 259 million, this is the number of meebles in the game. If we divide this by the total economy players (3,255), we get the meebles per capita (let us call it MPC). This gives us about 80k per person. But is this good enough? Well, if you are worried about your survival, this is more than enough. With 80k, you can afford roughly the same amount of baked potatoes. However, if you want to build a nice base quickly (with god tools for example), the price of the items needed could take at least 1/4 of your balance.

Now, let us talk about the in-game distribution of wealth. The number one page in /baltop, which forms up less than 0.09% of the players has about ten million meebles less than all the pages after the sixth page which forms around 98% of the players.

In Horneman´s post, there are more tables of wealth distribution, however, I think I already made a point. Either the top players have too much money, everyone else has too little money or both. Nevertheless, there is one key thing that affects all this data. Many players leave the game and let the towns suck up their balance while they do not care if it marks a 0 at the end of the day. This after about a month, if the players had a low balance before they left, their balance becomes even lower and since they do not care to earn more money, they skew the data making it unclear.

Thank you all for reading my first article, if you have any suggestions for the next volume or just for a better article, send me a private message or comment below. For Horneman´s post, click here.
