Inflation

[Smokie]

Basically, I've been doing a little bit of playing again after almost 2 years, and, needless to say, the sticker-shock is yet to wear off.

 

 

 

How did this absurd inflation happen? :shock:

 

 

 

(I have some theories of my own, dealing mostly with rare drops that Jagex introduced into the members world and the tremendous increase in RuneScape's population via advertising on Miniclip, and I have always wondered that RuneScape didn't have runaway inflation since shops and monsters are constantly minting new money... until now :-# .... but if someone who has been playing through this period and has witnessed the devaluing of the gold piece would care to offer a more in-depth explanation, I would be greatly obliged.)

i think its due to high alching.. most people didnt do it for profit back in rsc so alot of money wasnt flowing into the economy..but now in rs2 high alching is a fast way of exp so alot of peope do it which puts alot of coins into the economy

combination of lots of things, high alchy, pest control, barrows, pretty much any mini game. All the monster drops, theiving. The new construction skill helped with it a bit.
