Prices are about the same here as they were 3-4 years after EQ live launched, except the items are worse. I think people are really exaggerating the prices here. I spent 58k here for Torpor, and people thought that was a lot... guess what I spent on Tunare? About 90k. I remember fungis going for 100k, and they're not at that point yet. A big difference was that a lot of people didnt even know that stuff like puppet strings and BCGs existed, so it's not like there were dozens of people on every server willing to drop 250k on some strings (and by this time on live there were a lot more of them considering they were moved to fear golems mid-Velious).
In summary... the prices on this server are completely normal. Welcome to mudflation, as games age items become more valuable than the in-game currency.
