Spell prices extreme?! Howdy doody!

[veldan]

I remember spell's being high'ish cost starting at level 8. The prices in p99 'feel' right to me. Either way currently level 21 and the only real struggle I had was affording 'all' of my spell's at level 8 and 12. It's been pretty simple having enough plat for spell's since level 16.

I'm playing a wiztard and I went to buy my level 8 speels. Each one is 4p and some change. I was like "Oh good gravy this is pricey." Sooooooooooooo I went to the archived alakazam EQ1 website to look up prices for the same speles. In original EQ Column of Frost is Mak Ixtaz - 1pp 4sp 9cp in Neriak. On green it is 4pp 2g 3s 8c. Why? What did casters do to deserve such a high increase of pricings?! I am so damn broke all the damn time.

Yes, I pick up every single thing I kill. Sell all da bone cheeps stacks, sell all da weepons and armours. I sell all da alochols! ALL DA LOOTS I SELL!!!! I turn in lizards for money. I sold my friend to a troll for money! I still have no moneys because I buy spells! NO I DONT BUY ALL SPEELS! JUST DAMAGE HIGH DAMAGE OH GOD!!!!

Alakazam records prices on live servers. And spell prices on live got a big reduction years ago. Like level 1 spells cost like 2 sp each on live, while P99 keeps the original 1.5gp cost we all know and love.
