As I said, that is just one example, of many. Ive noticed the price coming down for alot of what used to be rare and highly sought after high level items that are now common and cheap and no one wants. Every other new toon you see nowadays is rocking lvl 50+ gear that can be bought in ec for super cheap. Even given away for free because no one wants it. I mean.. its kinda silly and defeats the purpose of earning your own shit. There is an old saying... If everything is special, then nothing is. The magic of eq is lost.

So this is what happens on a time-locked server. There's content in MMORPGs for about 2 years before they become stale. This one has been going on for 4 years with no expansions to make people believe the new imaginary items are worth more imaginary money. Everything now is farmed into the ground, and only the real valuable fake things have any real fake value.
The magic is your dopaminergic reward system in your brain informing you that pursuing elf dreams is a worthwhile goal in your life. The sense of loss you're experiencing is the reality dawning on you that dead end server elf dreams are, in fact, not a good time investment.
