Thoughts on the lottery:

With one simple precaution everyone gets the EXP scroll.

1 in every 100 entries gets 100K Gil. That's one character in 10.

1 in every 1000 entries gets 1M Gil. That's one character in 100.

1 in every 10000 entries gets 10M Gil. That's one character in 1000.

1 in every 100000 entries gets 100M Gil. That's one character in 10000.

.5M accounts, lets conservatively guess 4 characters / account, 2M characters....

200 grand prize winners.... 32 servers, or about 6 Grand Prize winners / server.

This is an attack on deflation.

Well other than in Behemoth hides.

Tsybil... it costs 1k for each Marble tablet.

Each character can buy 10 tablets.

Thus for Rank 4, 10 characters paying 10k = 100k

100 Characters paying 10k = 1M

1000 Characters paying 10k = 10M

10,000 Characters paying 10k = 100M

If anything, we're just going to see a lot of new items get introduced into the market.
