Thanks Rogean, Uthgaard, and crew for taking in game monetary policy seriously. On live, seemingly the only GM I ever knew who personally understood how integral this is to maintaining a healthy play environment was Uini. I would assert that runaway deflation 'killed' EQ more thoroughly than any item, code, or class balance issues.
ETA: Did it by chance have anything to do with the Fear portal zone-in or has that duping bug already been addressed?

Well Uini had some kind of business economics degree and the economy for EQ wasn't designed to last for more than 2 years.
The economy thing came up at a GDC roundtable a few years ago that was headed by some SoE peeps and they talked more about it, but it got derailed into some stupid World War 2 Online economic shit and some other terrible game that came out around that time. etcetc.
