In my experience, rubicite lost its value fairly quickly on live. The BP held some novelty, but once players who had never been exposed to the nostalgia of rubicite start to populate the server they can't figure out why you're charging so much. Try to get someone who's been exposed to Kunark loot to spend more than 500pp on any piece of Rubi, just won't happen.

BP is cool though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That may be true, however, on here the majority of players are from Kunark or pre-Kunark. (according to the polls) My recollection on live is that for several years after Rubicite was removed, it continued to gain value despite it losing relevancy in terms of twinkage - to the point that after Fungi dipped in value from being farmed so much, they were about on par in terms of price.

This is what I remember. Even around Luclin and PoP (on Prexus) I recall the very rare Rubi BP or Rubi set going for ridiculously high prices, simply because it's a novelty/prestige thing that doesn't drop anymore, and it's great for showing off when you're not exp/raiding.

This server will never have dyes, so red rubi = win.
