How much was 200k Platinum before Kunark?

[wootEq]

Does anyone know how much 200k platinum must have been in the days before Kunark.. how much PP circulated on servers back then?

[falkun]

200kPP was 200kPP, considering it has no real-life value...

200k could buy you 20 HBC's just before Kunark's release if that helps any.

On live servers, I remember if someone had 150k they were accused of hacking.

Pre RoK of course.

Plat may not have had "real life value" but it was an economy in-game. And like all currency it can become inflated etc. It's value changes over time. 200k back in Classic is probably ~1.5 million today in value. It also depends on the server. Plat on the Test server (due to the /testcopy "bug" that I'm sure they left in on purpose) has no real value. People hand out millions to new people on the server because they can just copy that amount back later.

Just as a minor note: They let people transfer off of Test before allowing pp to copy to Test.

About two bucks.

Of course, back then gas was only ninety-nine cents a gallon, too.

200k would have sold for hundreds, if not over a thousand plus, before Kunark.

In Planes of Power, inflation and all, platinum was selling for $1 per 1kpp or more. It fluctuated often.
