A few things.
1) The payout from ratting has been reduced by 30%.
2) All mobiles now have a chance of dropping gold when they die. The
amount of gold is dependent on how tough the mobile is. The amounts they
drop are going to be altered later most likely, in order that bigger
mobiles give proportionately even more gold.

I'm sure #1 won't be popular, but #2 should more than make up for it. If
we see that it doesn't, we will raise the amount #2 gives. This is
really just meant as a temporary measure until we can put in more ways
to earn gold without killing. Enjoy!
