HOODED BLACK CLOAK ISN'T 2-2.5K PEOPLE, that is the one item I see all day every day.

HBC is one item I never have trouble moving. They are auctioned a lot but there is still a good demand for it because it is a great item for 2K+ for all melees, and better cloaks like CoF are in another league price wise. Not saying I don't see them go for less but you definitely aren't getting robbed if you pay 2k or so for one.

Certain higher end items are definitely not moving like they used to. However, you do see more people making trades than just buying stuff with plat. Maybe this has to do with more RMT accounts being recently banned.

People experiencing real life and possibly getting laid. Probably not though.

Geting beat by EZ server population wise should be a wake up call.

I've been rather busy in real life, so I haven't been on in a few weeks to check, but I highly doubt EZ is actually higher than P99 population-wise. Remember EZ is a pro-box server and the server pop numbers at server select reflect clients logged into the server, not unique players. Expect EZ's pop to be about 1/3rd to 1/4th what it shows. Even if they were to legitimately surpass P99 in player count who cares? Does it actually physically harm you that some people are playing another server and not God-Send-Classic-EQ? I dislike EZ as well but...

I personally think EQEmu should do what Live did. Replace the pop numbers with UP, DOWN, and LOCKED (although since DOWN servers just get removed from the list, likely to prevent flooding the list with inactive test servers, it would really only ever show UP or LOCKED. Also LOCKED already displays. But whatever.) to get people to shut up about the exact numbers and focus more on what you see in game. May stave off some of the doomsayers.

This is a great time to farm and make friends before the content locusts return from the other games.
Because of this lull, I have gotten to know Buttscratch, who is one of the best tanks and people I have played with.

God damn it, Buttscratch is awesome.

There is less volume of goods being brought to market. 2-3 weeks ago, about the same time fungi hit 50k, there was still a lot of loot coming to market.

GL finding a fungi for less than 70k now. The Jeremy pharmfest is over.
