或許一開始是
然而在NPC的細節發表之後，所有人開始叫苦連天。
NPC非常多，而且只工作，不消耗。
而這會造成甚麼影響呢？
e-sim遊戲本身可以視為一個封閉市場。錢跟物資進不去也出不來。
在這樣的市場裡，有多少東西要賣，就應有等量的需求。
如果東西少而買的人多，便是供不應求，會造成價格飆漲。
如果東西多而買的人少，便是供過於求，會造成價格崩跌。
而這兩者都會造成市場的不穩定，整體利潤的減少。
而目前的e-sim可以視為勉強在供需之間獲得平衡。
也就是一個工作的玩家，差不多可以剛好提供等於他產能的需求。（平均而言）
然而NPC會瘋狂工作，但從不花錢。
這代表甚麼？
市場上的商品會增加，但需求卻不增加。
簡而言之，會造成產能過剩。
也就是形成上面後者的狀況。
相信大家都知道，目前Secura的物價已經很低了。
再跌下去，工廠根本就沒辦法賺錢。
工廠賺不到錢，工人，也就是玩家們便領不到錢。
玩家領不到錢，需求便減少。
然後便陷入惡性循環。
市場整體形成商品遠多於需求的狀況，物價低而貨幣價值高。
通稱通貨緊縮。
現在假設這是某個國家的現狀，那這個國家該如何因應呢？
這時就要回到上段第一句話。
e-sim遊戲本身可以視為一個封閉市場。
重點就是封閉市場。
既然市場上供過於求，只要讓市場外的需求進入市場，就能彌平這樣的不平衡了，不是嗎？
對，一個國家如果國內沒有人要買東西，便會出口，讓外國人來買國內的東西。
東西賣出去，廠商賺錢。
廠商賺錢，工人就有薪水。
工人有薪水，需求便增加。
需求增加，通貨緊縮便會和緩。
市場便會趨於平衡。
好，接下來我們回到e-sim。
e-sim是個遊戲，要如何打開市場呢？
想像一下，當東西很便宜時，你會不會想買呢？
會，但你又沒錢怎麼辦？
想想看，當你玩一個線上遊戲玩到很吃力時，會想幹嘛？
對！就是課金！
當市場供過於求，物價便宜你卻也沒錢買的時候，你便會想去找錢出來買。
而玩遊戲憑空生出錢來的方法除了BUG之外便是課金。
對遊戲本身為一個封閉市場的e-sim來說，RL便是外部。
向外部尋求資金，便是拿現金來買遊戲內的物品。
再說一次。就是課金！
總而言之，引入莫名其妙機制的NPC，最終極有可能造成大量課金的結果。（或者大量玩家出走）
如果我們假定管理者們不是白癡，懂得一些基本的經濟學概論。
那這就極有可能是遊戲團隊期望的結果。
說實話，這就是一個想法。但事實是不是如此呢？我也不知道。
我真的覺得這系統把這遊戲搞砸了。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
