People realize(d) that platinum has little value, even moreso on Blue, where a lot of people no longer even play.
What has value is the quality time you spend on EQ and platinum cannot buy that.
Also having legacy items has value. But holding platinum is a losing proposition, every second you become poorer and poorer due to inflation.

The valuation of items that you can buy out of the tunnel are just so lopsided right now is the issue.
If I gifted a random level 1 monk 150k, He will reach level 60 probably 2/3rds faster than a non twink monk. Fungi, Haste, a T-staff, and some hp gear and you will FLY through level 1-50. A non twink monk can probably solo 1 mob for every 6 that a twinked monk can.
If someone gifts me 150k, i'd almost get nothing out of it. Maybe a ring 9 MQ for my bard? That's 1 item. And it's not even a huge upgrade, just cuts out a lot of bullshit that you'd normally have to do. I want an extra pair of holgresh elder beads for my enchanter..... meaning if someone just gifted me 150k... i'd be 1/6th of the way there...
But part of the reason i'd suggest picking blue over green if you started a level 1 toon right now..... you can gear yourself so, so much faster on a 12 year old server, where you could be gifted 1k+ just for a simple port. Some people enjoy the masochism of untwinked classic EQ, and honestly more power to you, but jesus you're spending a lot of extra time to get to the same destination, if you goal on the server is to have a level 60. Otherwise it's whatever
