People may wander in that are new, but there is a wiki readily available with everything you need to know. And guides on how to make plat, BiS gear, etc...

The wiki isn't going to teach you how to make 900k.

Yeah making 'some' plat is easy. Making bulk plat really isn't something you can pick up from the info that's publicly spread about.

Play a Rogue, you get invited to all of the cash camps and can just show up and pickpocket that bling.

Don't act like we don't know your rogue secrets.

How does someone do this?

People who no-lifed the shit out of the original EQ came to P99 knowing every single item that would eventually be removed from the game and skyrocket in value. So they came here and no-lifed the fuck out of those camps and got rich.

Then they locked down epic items for years on end, putting character completion behind a huge wall of neckbearded plat, causing many otherwise healthy players to farm inordinate sums of money to pay the ransom.

Server is a decade old + the above for years on end = hyperinflated shitty mess of an economy. It's been a race to the bottom since the very beginning.

And will be with every new server. Requires a new game but they don't make these anymore. At best they will get a pantheon eq-lite DAOC gameplay type of thing with many of the things we complain about (but keeps us here) removed for comfort and ease.

I'll start out by saying that I agree with much of what you said in the rest of your comment. Your hyperinflation comment, however, is only really true for some extreme top-end cases. Epic MQs, epic tradeables? Sure, I'll give you those. For the overwhelming majority of items, however, you are going to be able to find them cheaper on P99 than you ever would have been able to on live in 2000. A jade mace for 700p? I used to sell those for 10k back in 2000. A fungi for 55k? More like 80k. Cloak of Flames for 50k? Easily 75k-100k+ on live.

With very few exceptions, the P99 economy is actually massively deflated due to the over farming and top-heaviness of the server. I can give someone 10k right now to twink a monk and the gear you could get would run you 40-50k on live at the very least.

The other issue you had on live in 2000 was that most of the high-end stuff was effectively priceless because there was no way anyone was going to sell it. You weren't going to find Flayed Barb Leggings for 900k in 2000 because you were unlikely to find them at all.

People don't realize how easy they have it on p99 sometimes. You could level a druid to group porting levels, bind at Hammer Hill, and make 10k in a week or two if you really go at it. That 10k would go really far compared to live2k.

I legit recall a guy in EC ranting in /ooc pre-Kunark about a guy from Ring of Valor selling his COF, 60k iirc. Same argument about a lousy economy. I think he was just angry cause he couldn't buy it or trade for it.

Yep. That guys COF back on live was essentially priceless at the time. You would have had to trade some really nice, rare, items for it.

My guild buddy Xavier had 1,000pp in his bank. We legit considered him EQ Rich.
