Sudden Price Inflation?

btravis1990 · #1 03-04-2019, 04:49 PM

Is it just me or have prices started sky rocketing lately? I have even seen like 2 people going into the wiki and updating auction prices to show inflation.

It makes me wonder because it is literally the 2 same names that are putting the price higher...

Price gouging or is this a normal trend? Only been here since December but seen items jump up 100% sometimes.

Don't pay what they're asking, pay what it's worth.

People try to influence system by sitting in EC with a script that auctions items at a higher than usual rate even though they 100% don't intend to sell.

Since the server is going to be virtually static from here on in, it would be a good idea to have a price list with the general range of a "fair" price for items. At least for anything that goes for more than 1K plat or something. How is a new player or someone who hasn't played in years know the "true" value of something?

You learn the "true" value of items by playing the game on the server. You will probably lose some money and some opportunities to earn more money along the way. Its a wonderful game. Like other things, btw, the best way to learn is to make friends you trust and ask questions along the way. P99 is actually filled with plenty of very helpful folks despite all the boogeyman conspiracies of RMT traders attempting to manipulate the price of items.

As for price changes this is part of the game. There is no "static" economy --- the content is static, but the server is changing all the time. Where people play, how much they play their mains, how often the make alts...all that stuff goes into controlling the supply and demand of items...i.e. the market price.

Wiki needs a longer history, like stocks.

1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 day, 1 year, Max, etc.

Ravhin's code is freely available here: http://wiki.project1999.com/utils/wikiUtils.php

All anyone has to do is edit it and then convince the staff to uo upload the edited version. But of course to do that you have to first learn PHP (/shudder).

Not enough plat sinks

Dudes have been grinding plat for 3 years now since Velious came out and are all lvl 60.

More money is avai due to population spike and item demands have risen as the population hit max level to then start alts.

Plat not as valuable as it was a year ago as 100k can still buy a massive range of items thanks to the crazy farmers supply but raid drops raised in prices bc less are being sold due to astronomical zerg #s from a guilds needing to “pixel up” new members.
