The reason that plex is so insanely expensive over there is also supply/demand.

The players over there are generally not as 'well off' as players over here, for them, being able to play a game ''for free' by making ingame money is like a dream come true, that many aspire to reach.

Oh and also their powerblocks are so much bigger over there, I believe null is like 2 alliances duking it out ( used to be 3, not sure if the 3rd still exists ). You join one, you join it for life. There's also many more regulations and space communism going on over there with the goods they farm from rats, belts etc.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

I think that it's the value of real money vs virtual goods.

So for example, the Plex is 5.8 times higher than global but the Raven is only 2.1 times higher. I think that the fact that Plex ties to real money (which is somewhat lacking in China in comparison to the global) vs the Raven is what is creating the disconnect within their server.

The overall disparity is probably driven by isk faucet flow activities. They must be more engaged in the activities that generate isk from nothing (like missioning, mining, ratting etc) vs isk exchange like piracy / manufacturing / trading.

More additional isk in the economy = less purchasing power per isk = higher prices.

Interestingly, I was in Hong Kong about a month ago and was able to connect to Tranquility without any issues. With, kind of a part of China, not sure if they have the same internet restriction.


actually the PLEX is the much the same price in China and Global serves.

Buying a PLEX cost 60CNY ( Chinese money ) equal to 7.29 EUR （for todays exchange price )

Buy you know the company who is running the Chinese server is not CCP, it is an agent called Tiancity. And by holding lots of activities that agent sent out uncountable numbers of battleship. Or even they sent out Marauders once ( for charge several month of game times)

Further, maybe most of the player know that Chinese only have 3 huge Faction in nullsec, their Ore to manufacture war supplies is based on some large, automatically mining fleets, digging ores 24 x 7. They even have program to control pilot to farm nullsec dead space all the day.

And the agent didn't care about those programs most of the time. Which is obviously against EULA.
But as long as they pay for the game, the agent will get money, so they really didn't care about how player act or do RMT. You can easily find ISK seller in some Chinese online-shopping website.

And CCP didn't care about that either.

It's really funny when study Chinese market when all the logical economic theory prove that their market will crash but the truth is not. Like it is in real life that last economic crisis hit Europe USA and japan hardly but has few influence on China.

I think Chinese people might have some kind of magic to control their market right?

Nice to know Nick. The comment was general and while it did follow your post, I did not see your post as one of the few here I was referring too.

Did the 3rd null faction fall in the end? I read somewhere about it but I never did find out.
