CCP Games announced today that he had appointed Stefán þórarinson as his new head of the economy. Þórarinson previously worked as an economist at the Central Bank of Iceland and joined the CCP to help reform and deepen Eve Frontier’s Economy at stake. As part of his new position, he will also carry out research on digital currency, offering an overview of financial systems at stake.
After the appointment of þórarinson, the PCC will move a series of economic updates to Eve Frontier to analyze how they change the behavior at stake. These are in particular monetary and inflation policy, the exploration of commercial dynamics and the integration of digital assets, as well as the collection of data on the decisions and behaviors of the players. CCP will deploy updates in the founding level of access, making it possible to carry out all research in a controlled environment.
Þórarinson said in a statement: “Virtual savings are no longer just gaming systems; These are financial systems that live, evolve that require a serious study. CCP Games leads to filling the gap between the economies at stake and the financial principles of the real world, and I am delighted to contribute to this set of innovative work. We not only aim to simulate a wide variety of economic activities, but to study, to refine and to validate the functioning of virtual savings; Eve Frontier will establish the standard for the way these systems can be structured, regulated and understood. »»
Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP, has added: “Since our creation, we have tried to create worlds where players have transcend the constraints of our own conception – a story that took place in Eve online when it enters its third decade of operation. With Eve Frontier, we want to be more daring: Stefán’s experience from the central bank of Iceland adds vital rigor while we continue to design our economy and open it to players. By removing currency controls and promoting emerging values systems, Eve Frontier will redefine the construction of the virtual nation, offering information on digital and real economies. »»
