I think its mathematical. (this is some garage math so don't sign anything)
lets take the player base, say its around 800 peak/downtime average
take the timeline (1 year) until expansion.
figure out the possible average plat generated per day (after subtracting plat destroyed)... idk what could that be, 90(ish?) zones (in classic eq) um, lets say 100 plat average per zone being generated, so thats 900 plat per day?
times 365
*punches numbers on calculator on desk made of phone books in his hoder basement*
328,500 plat generated in 1 year of everquest.
So, take all that, spread it out among an 800 average players, That leaves everyone with a measly 410.625 plat.....
OK!
so my math is wrong obviously that's idiotic there must be more plat generated than that..
BUT MY POINT was that..
Some of the most valuable items in classic are basically useless for the most part after kunark (save the dragon ones) so plat is really the best way for anyone to have a leg up on the economy once Kunark drops. The best weapons and armor, all get dwarfed so, hording those wont be of much use come kunark...
You know what, really, screw all this... its probubly, whoever has the most manastones that is going to win.
so hold onto your butts that's gonna be a fun camp lol
