I'm already at a point where I think about my amassed P99 wealth in units of Fungi Tunics rather than actual platinum.

If you give me one you will be that much closer to thinking about platinum again. It will work...I swear.

PP will never really lose value, I don't think.

Sure, some people prefer to trade high-end items for other high-end items, and the number of those people on the server will probably increase as more people get to the point where the only upgrades they need are the likes of kunark class bp/legs, BCGs, no-drop item loot rights bought from VP, etc.

But even then, most of the server will still be dealing with PP. Only a small minority will be looking to trade 2x AoN and a manastone for a fungus staff, and those people will still need PP for recharges and buying ports/pots/whatever.

Would be a great way to both suck pp out of the economy and give newer players a chance at stuff like a guise/prenerf staff/RoA etc. Not classic though so it probably won't happen.

Had a discussion with Propo about this a few months back. Basically we were talking about items that hold their value as inflation starts to spiral out of control...sure enough in those months the economy seems to have been flooded with extra plat, whether from new players levelling, RMT'ers, or a mix of both.

I remember thinking/saying that a FBSS is a good low level investment, and one that'll hold its value to Velious at least...and probably for Velious too, relative to what platinum will buy you.

As in... if you buy a FBSS at 10k now, when they're being sold for 20k later, you'll be able to cash back out and buy something on the same level as that.

Works for gold/silver in RL as well... Obama and the EU can print bank notes til they're worth nothing, but if you've got a good stash of physical gold/silver you'll always be able to trade those back in during an emergency or whatever to buy whatever it is you need (lets hope that's never 'food for the family').
