when will platinum

lose its value on this server? prices on key items only ever seem to be increasing in price while other items are dropping in value due to extreme amounts dropping over the extended classic and kunark period.

just like any exhausted or inflated economy what is going to happen? people are starting to make 500 - 1m plat offers on items. is that classic? i definately think having items is alot safer bet than having a big load of platinum.

is enough platinum being banned off RMT accounts to keep the inflation down?

EQ created things that ate server platinum later on through other expansions and helped a little but what will happen here?

One day everything will be priced in relation to fungi tunics. 5 fungis for an AoN.

I like where this is going

No, it's not classic due to the understandable long development periods.

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

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.
