I can see someone having a few hundred thousands to maybe over a million but 50 million platinum? This would be close to impossible since banned items like the Manastone sells for 250K. This would mean the player would have to sold 200 Manastones just to make 50 million...

You don't understand, there are LOTS of people and guild banks with over 5 mill plat, so 50 is possible within 7 years, also back in the day you could sell accounts for plat, and there might have been people duping items ( not confirmed ) but p99 security/antih4x was looser back in the beginning

There was also a bug that allowed the duping of plat at the start. Literally millions of plat was duped onto this server at the beginning. They did there best to ban the offenders and remove the plat. But that wasn't before millions of it got into the economy.

um... if the total plat count in the database went up by millions. I'm sure they did something to counteract that. It's not like they just left an extra 50million plat in the system.

The bugs/sploits I was refering to had to do with spawns and item drop rates. One Example:
Did you know that you could obtain a particular item (worth 2k atm) back in the day on p99 by guaranteed forcing a mob to spawn?
There is even a post on these forums talking about it. Which is how I discovered it. To the best of my knowledge none of that item was ever removed from the system.

or the infamous tradeskill sploit..

Oh man someone lay the rug back down. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You also used to be able to spawn faydedar multiple times a day (the real one), which lead to lots of dragon loot being easily obtained. And it's kind of hard to remove the plat from the economy baler. If someone all the sudden gets a million plat and it's clear he duped it, then ya it was removed. But if he bought a bunch of things with it. And then those people that sold to him bought a bunch of things, etc, etc. Then that plat is now removed 2/3/4/99x from the duper. And it becomes a complicated process to follow the coins and remove them. Especially when you are removing them from the inventory of a player that did nothing wrong. He merely sold an item, legitimately, and was paid with non-legit Plat. Just saying, I doubt they were able to remove all the duped plat from the economy.

I once had a bunch of super expensive items removed from my char on live, with the excuse that they were duped. I had no idea I just bought them in the bazaar. They did not give me the plat I spent on them back either.

Yup. That's when I quit live.

Like I said before... Photo image or it didn't happen...

I want to see a "real" P99 account of someones bank account showing at least 5 million platinum.

If people don't ruin the spawns in HS South , there's a lot of Plat to be made pumping out Fingerbone hoops !

Offering services such as power leveling over an extended period of time.

At 3,000pp/hr, you'd have had to PL for 8 hours per day for the entire life of the server to make 50 million. Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Trading high-end items for a long time (including stuff like fungus staff and whatnot, not just cloaks of flames and fungi tunics) and being involved in account and red-blue trading back when those things were permitted is probably the only way a single player could legitimately have made that much plat.
