when will platinum

lose its value on this server? prices on key items only ever seem to be increasing in price while other items are dropping in value due to extreme amounts dropping over the extended classic and kunark period.

just like any exhausted or inflated economy what is going to happen? people are starting to make 500 - 1m plat offers on items. is that classic? i definately think having items is alot safer bet than having a big load of platinum.

is enough platinum being banned off RMT accounts to keep the inflation down?

EQ created things that ate server platinum later on through other expansions and helped a little but what will happen here?

One day everything will be priced in relation to fungi tunics. 5 fungis for an AoN.

I believe the increase in prices is only reflecting an increase in demand as new players and new alts are created. Haste is required for all melee so a general increase in player population would lead to roughly half of them needing haste. I saw drake hide leggings go for 500pp when it used to be 75-150. That is newbie gear and reflects on an increase in the player base. Now new players will be creating new platinum in the economy but their demand for gear to fill empty slots and to replace with better as they can afford to is a great deal more demand than established players able to fill slots only via no drop, quests, or very large amounts of platinum.

In specific instances I think it also denotes high level players leaving classes (monk) and entering new ones (shaman).

No, it's not classic due to the understandable long development periods.
