As you may know, we have been delving into the unpleasant waters of
dealing with what I call goldflation or the bloat in gold, commodities
and potions. In order to address this situation, the first thing we need
to do is remove gold, commodities and potions from our promotional
items, including wheel spins, presents, genie bottles and maps. Thus,
promotional items from now and into the future will give out aethergoop.
The value of aethergoop has been diluted so all costs have been upped by
a factor of 100. Also, anyone with current aethergoop will notice their
stores to have increased by a factor of 100 as well. Alchemists and
Brewmeisters will also be able to create specialty potions and cooks
will be able to create specialty candy, both using the AETHERGOOP
command. To summarize the updates:

-All aethergoop prices increased x100
-Current stores of aethergoop increased x100
-Wheel spins have a high chance to give out aethergoop, averaging 50-150
goop (though chance to get much more)
-Presents: mostly gives out aethergoop (70% standard presents, 50-150
aethergoop; 60% superior presents, 200-500 aethergoop; 50% exceptional,
1000-3000 aethergoop; 25% ultimate, 6000-10000 aethergoop)
-Fee to transfer aethergoop to another player: 10 gold/aethergoop
-Genies and maps and ur'traps: 3-5 goop, throttles at 50 goop per game
month (though even if throttled, will give out 1 goop)
-Special Potions: See AETHERGOOP command.
-Special Candy: See AETHERGOOP command.

The next phase, which hopefully we can do this weekend, is addressing
manse mines. You will notice that manse mines are no longer available
and overalls can be traded in at 100% value. If we don't come up with
any solution for mines, I will very reluctantly remove all mines and
refund to the current owners their value in sticky (non-transferable)
dingbats.
