yeah if you use way back machine (which basically serves snapshots of websites from the past), look at gear prices in Kunark era, all I keep seeing is 4k, 5k, 3k on FBSS, nothing near 12k.

A server with low pop should have prices at the lower end of that range.

Edit: Just fyi, I'm not complaining lol, I'll camp a FBSS myself just commenting! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
You should have seen the cost of a SSOY last year [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Prices fluctuate, and the game has been out enough that whether by duping or by seafury and giant camping there's a lot of raw platinum on the server and nothing really to take it back out of the game.

Ya but now SSOY's, which haven't lost effectiveness in the L37-55 group game are now 1000/pair. That's INCREDIBLE value! As I stated earlier, you pay out the ass for BIS, but 80% of BIS is amazingly affordable.

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).
