Hey Andy, were the IPO limits adjusted PROPORTIONALLY to the overall deflation that was introduced to the game years ago?
There was a time when countries could make over 1T/month WITHOUT loans, PRIOR to the loan interest nerf. I think when you introduced the stricter IPO limits, it was still in the period where good countries could make 500-600B/month.
If the limit for a corp is still 400B, then this is too high relative to how the game changes have depressed values.
Even back in the day, highly profitable corporations sat in the 500-600B range unless someone had ALL profit sharing and taxes turned off. Back when it was possible to debt-bomb hostile bids, you could usually get 1.5-2T from the tactic - i.e., 1-1.5T in loans on top of ~500B in corp value.
And let's be honest, the real reason IPO limits were introduced was because people had perfected Treasurer's IPO methods and were able to fully privatize their countries with their own CEOs and able to push their CEOs to 2000+ corps by farming out corps from their countries with the IPO method - two things that never matched YOUR vision of the game. The real problem is you have never had a particularly GOOD vision of the game to offer us - only nerfs when players figure out ways to game your broken system. I remember how the IRC chats went back in the day.
