No idea when Kunark is supposed to drop but if you have plans on acquiring a manastone still, you better get in line soon and plan on playing a LOT of everquest to make it "worthwhile." And at the end of the day, was it really worth it?

This is an important point. Any calculations on time gained/maximized efficiency have to be taken in concert with the release of Kunark. As has been said, in order to get a truly accurate accounting of the item’s return on investment, it’ll need to be used to maximum efficiency in just the next few months. When Kunark is released, the items value SHOULD drop precipitously, since finding groups in old world zones will be much more difficult. At least for 50+, which one would assume would be the level of person able to actually buy the stone. Now say if someone creates an alt and is able to scrounge up people to group with in Classic zones, then the calculation can continue. But once they step foot on Kunark, or even the Planes, that investment return freezes immediately.

The best time to buy a manastone is long past. Next best time to buy one theoretically will be when green 2.0 is released and as early into the server's life cycle as possible.

I completely agree with this. People that acquired their Manastone early in the life of the server stood the best chance of getting the requisite rate of return from buying. As it is now, with only a few months to go till Kunark, I think it’s highly unlikely people will see a return on buying a stone, or an efficiency return on the time invested for those camping the stone to actually use it.
