General knowledge about game mechanics, the *type* of
EQ player this server attracts (usually the more dedicated ones), knowledge about future items and how they compare to present items, how much the playerbase knows about *how* to make a lot of money very quickly...
The human element on p99 is a completely different animal from what it was on live in 99/2000/2001.
Prices are a function of an aggregation of human choices and have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it's the same game.
Yeah, I think 11-12k for an FBSS is a little high. But if you realize that an FBSS is basically a standard mid-range twink item for *every single melee class* and is pretty much *the* standard haste item until you do some decent raiding or make the massive stack of plat for a COF/RBG etc...an FBSS is easily worth 10k given how much it helps your character, particularly at lower levels. Other than a regen item, haste is the single biggest enhancer for a melee class. So complaining about the price of an FBSS on p99 is kind of silly to me. I've noticed a substantial drop in SotDb prices lately, which makes sense to me. People used to ask 25k for it while FBSS was 13-15. roughly 5-6 more % haste and 2 ac isn't worth 10k, but 21% haste is worth 10-14 (esp given no real alternatives until level 46).
