Lack Of Economy

[The~Analog~Kid]

Personally I think the lack of an economy makes more sense and is actually more realistic for this type of game. I'm pretty sure that those soldiers who fought in Desert Storm (maybe some of you were there?) didn't have to worry about when their next clip or rifle was going to be available and if they were going to have enough cash on hand to pay for it. If they ran out of ammo on the field they just headed back to base and got re-equipped. The U.S. government took care of their needs, and in PlanetSide each of our empires will have a perceived government taking care of us. The developer said it best though when he mentioned that the game was just more FUN without the economy. Well, there it is.
