I'm loving this classic server... but

Why do people care? If inflation sends prices higher, its across the board. The amount of plat in active accounts dictates the economy.

The fact that EC is full of tryhard dickheads is what makes it so painful. I just cant find a reason to go sell something that isnt worth 10k+, I'll just vendor or give away anything under that because EC is so difficult to deal with.

Economy would be a lot better if EC specifically didnt have people who play 5+hours a day attempting to get rich, so they can twink a bard and level to 35 and realise they suck at the game.

I think you'll find the prices you listed are extremely high in comparison to what is offered during normal U.S hours. For example dragoon dirk is usually 50p, FBR is usually 100p.

Really? Today multiple Flowing Black Robes for over 150...ie someone just said 175..that is well above 100. If I need to I can name drop, point being, prices are NOT that low

Not particularly surprising. As was said earlier, you'll find people these days are less likely to bother even collecting and selling such items for low funds anymore.

Best bet is just buying slightly higher tier items, which likely even aren't any (or much more) expensive.

I wonder if the OP is just trolling us all. I'm getting very depressed about this server because the low end is just flooded with items. An *untwinked* L20 character is going to have a Cane of the Tranquil, Nathsar Greatsword, Green Jade Broadsword, or whatever. These all have stats that are not much worse than true classic god gear (11/24 blood fire with proc vs 11/25 cane for example). Every group has at least 1 twink who can bring in a high level char for ridiculous buffs like C2 or thorns. I joined an Upper Guk group of twinks (my warrior in full sebilite scale with a Staff of Battle, the rogue with a sebilite croaking dirk and a CSS, and an SK with a fungi and ebon mace, etc) and we were levelling every 1.5 hours or so. It's just nuts. Even at the high end hate and fear are trivial when you roll in with 20 55+ characters.

I think I'd actually vote for a server wipe right now, just cause this doesn't even feel like everquest.

You speak some truth here, but low level players would have it a lot harder without these bonus items. This was one of the reasons kunark mudflated things back in the day - to give new players a leg up.

I just looked at the pvp server population and it's close to 400. If there're no boxes on that server then I'm sure probably -at least- 150 are from this server (probably more). When I left this server a month ago there were about 500-700 on at peak times. I remember a while before that it was 1000+.

1) Pvp server
2) EQ Live just released an expansion
3) Age (people are burned out on this game and want new things)
4) (i'm sure there're more reasons)

Most of my characters are low level here. I play em every once in a while. Started in early 2010.

I don't hate this game because of its mechanics or because of corpse runs. I just get tired of hte same ol same ol. I'm also tired of the WoW-clones. They're so full of themselves. I do all sorts of things in my free time. I even program in vc++. People have a million different reasons for not playing.

Btw, I'm tempted to give the pvp server a spin. Sad, ain't it.
