That's not really the issue. I think the issues are players having 700k to spend on 1 item. Newbies trying to sell items they've obtained to players that have 700k to spend on 1 item. A lack of newbies for other newbies to sell to. The twink market.

I think it all combines to create a very newbie unfriendly economy and highlights the emu in project1999.
thats a problem that all mmo's have not just this emu


eventually people get best gear etc and have a stockpile of money left over


there are things other mmo's have done to try and take money out of the economy


basically making money sinks


like item decay.. (need to repair equipment)


zone tolls / fees


maybe lose money on death


quests that take tons of in game currency to finish (typically for epic weapon type items)


only type of eq-ish server i can think of that wouldn't have any sort of huge economy problems between new players and old players would be to remove the usefulness of plat all together..

maybe make all weapons and armor not tradeable
