Triforceelf Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well writen Duke, also you did well on the math. I think Jagex is finally reliseing what governments throught history have, if you have to much money in the system, it will rapidly lose its value.

nyyankees588 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 this skill has had one of the oddest impacts on the rs ecomeny i think because when it first came out it it seemed to be a "merchenter's skill" due to the fact that it cost so much money, yet it cause most high priced items to drop severly or barely..... :wink: Getting another sig[removed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishdoom Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 You know, being a free player myself I wouldn't know much, but I've seen friends constructing and when I was a member I chipped in a bit myself. However that draws from the point. Maybe it was Jagex plan to get rid of a little excessed cash, however. They made a mistake by making this skill member's only. By far the most wealthy people in the game are members but there are a lot of upperclass freeplayers as well. I think there's just a bit of an overreaction here. I don't make the rules, I break them... May your bloodthirst be never stated, and may all your battles be glorious. Zamorak brings you strength!

s_dav135 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ok so jagex intended on construction being a money drain and it is..prices dropped but only for the first few days. most items have steadily raised to near their starting price except for rares. which, correct me if im wrong, was proberly the reason why jagex wanted to remove money from the economy? rares have more or less doubled, and dont show any signs of slowing down- this is a total reverse effect of what was intended. so tell me..if theres less money, then why have these rares more than doubled in price? it doesn't seem right at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Freedom Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well the theoretical effects discussed in the article are all long-term, whatever happens on the short-midlong-term has little to do with that. The recent rises in rares are rather extreme though. There has never been a month with a higher price growth then last month, so it's most likely that the following months will have a much slower price growth. There may be more to the recent price rises then just "a normal price rise" though, as I heard that there was some bug with the money in the treasure room for a few days, that allowed people to 'dupe' the 50K in it, though not in an 'instant' way. Either way, I did some new calc's on the total exp gained / gp drained by construction and it seems construction lost a great deal of interest since it first came out; as expected. In the 3 weeks that passed since I wrote the article to now, the total exp of all players on the construction highscores grew from 9bil to about 15.5bil. This means people are now leveling at a speed of 0.3bil / a day (and probably lower, since this is an average over the past 3 weeks, construction was probably still more popular at the start of that period). I'm still considering adapting the 8gp / exp rate as there are quite a few people saying it should be higher, but for now I'll just use the 8gp / exp rate to keep the calculations in line. Multiplying that by the current amount of exp gained / day gives us 2.4bil gp drained / day. That should still have a reasonable, though not definite, impact on the gp growth rate (6-7bil gp) to at least slow down the inflation process a bit. The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+.

zubeedoo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Erm unless I'm mistaken and the numbers in that graph don't mean millions of gp, your graph is quite a bit off, though I can't vouch for easters pumpkins and santas, I can say with reasonable certainty that: green masks are now 21.5mil blue masks are 28mil reds are (roughly) 53mil Quit runescape, now playing EVE-Online(Mail Cambarus and say hi :mrgreen: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Freedom Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 The price graphs are a month old. Shows how ridiculously fast rares grew eh? ;) The value of my bank at its height.

Invisionist Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I am sick and tired of so many people having so much money. It doesn't even signify anything if you have 1 mille anymore. I remember when a r2h was 1 mille. That's when 1 mille was a lot. Now you find that on the ground like everyday.

Izza_ Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well, Construction really has made an impact on the RS economy. However, even if Jagex did do this on purpose. They reversed it in a way with Pest Control. After 3 hours of playing that game I had 200k in my pocket and alot more experience than normal training would have done. The amount of GP being generated by this game is incredible concidering thats 25 players in games playing for 1 minute. Now im not even going to bother to do the math on that, but after the couple of weeks it has been out. A lot of GP has been generated and is continuing to be generated. That GP alone could finance the cost of construction or put the economy back into inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuff Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Duke, you should get your own page on tip.it, with (weekly, monthly,...) updates on rare prices and strange things that happen to the economy. _If_ you have the time and commitment for it. Would be alot easier than these articles and I think alot of people will be interested in it. Edit: I too would be interested in seeing you get a phat / certain amount of gp / ... on a new charachter :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I too would be interested in seeing you get a phat / certain amount of gp / ... on a new charachter :) . It would greatly interest me if anyone at all managed to get from 25gp to a phat without any support from friends (E.G. Donations). As it seems to me the best money making methods in the game are insignificant compared to the rates at which rares rise. Back when i could afford a purple phat they were 10m, i have been a VERY active player since then, so surely constantly making money. However my bank is only worth 40m and purples are about 170 now. runescape name is also finny50. Quit runescape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
