I have all 7 issues so far, going for number 8, [tomarrow?]
And "a circle a day" is not little for a mainly roleplaying character.
Come on! A circle is more or less like a single ORE.... not too difficoult to get in my opinion! Plus, i think everybody knows yet that i GIVE IT FOR FREE if you don't have the money!
OOC'ly 1 circle is not a lot of money at all, its worth 250 tria
but you need to think of it in a few different ways
1.) If you do quests, you learn that it is indeed a lot of money, as for a BD guard, makes 25k a year, there are other quests that talk about pay, i believe.
2.) you can compare marketing, In real life, you can buy a loaf of bread, [in the US] for around 2.50$ in planeshift you can get one for 12 tria i believe, thats not a lot more.. so it also shows how little money an average working man would get.
3.) If you noticed, 1 circle will buy food for an IC week or two..so that also shows
