Blue99 economy soon to be tanked

[SirAlvarex]

BTW, most things are actually under old-live market value. SSoY going for like 500pp? They were atleast 1k on Tunare up until Luclin. Same with the onslaught of other unsellable 2-handed weapons.

It's just the "Best buyable in slot" items that are so high. Which are the only items that intrigue those with 500k+ plat to burn. If level 60's thought gnoll-hide lariats were uber, I bet we'd see them go for 500pp too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some items will be cheaper, others will be the same price, and the rest will be higher

Yeesh where do these ignorant doom and gloomers come from, they are so ridiculously off the mark

[Flunklesnarkin]

stuff is ridiculously overpriced.. but its also ridiculously easy to make money starting off also.

and lots of folks also toss out items for free too.

That's not really the issue. I think the issues are players having 700k to spend on 1 item. Newbies trying to sell items they've obtained to players that have 700k to spend on 1 item. A lack of newbies for other newbies to sell to. The twink market.

I think it all combines to create a very newbie unfriendly economy and highlights the emu in project1999.

All I have to say is, I hope they merge all that sweet loot over from p99 red. Characters with full Russet? Cheap manastones? Sign me right the f*** up.

thats a problem that all mmo's have not just this emu


eventually people get best gear etc and have a stockpile of money left over


there are things other mmo's have done to try and take money out of the economy


basically making money sinks


like item decay.. (need to repair equipment)


zone tolls / fees


maybe lose money on death


quests that take tons of in game currency to finish (typically for epic weapon type items)


only type of eq-ish server i can think of that wouldn't have any sort of huge economy problems between new players and old players would be to remove the usefulness of plat all together..

maybe make all weapons and armor not tradeable

Yeah, my comment was 1 sentence long not a slam of the entire server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
