If some1 were to buy about 120 plex right now, the price would jump to 1.5b.

It is a strange product in that it costs more real money to use a PLEX to pay for game time than it costs to sub it, so people are going to sub their accounts more and more as the price rises and lower the profit for CCP in the long run, I'm sure they got a nice cash injection in the short term.

Short term thinking for a game that has been running this long is a bit odd.

For a short time. I doubt the market would take long to adjust. (Though pirates could make good from careless people shifting PLEX in unwise manners)

They were floating around a billion just before the ISBox policy changes too.

Many threads were made.

Then they died.

well i disagree,i think prices of plex will start to fall when supply and demand slopes,the amount of users buying will drop due to less people playing eve,numbers say we dropped 10000 members online in the last month(since fuzziesov),

so less people = less plex being bought

thanks

I apologize, but you make it sound like it's either of two things:

1) Something that CCP regulates;
2) Something we must rally to fix to help CCP or something.

I am confused.

Sweet. I'll cash out once it hits 1.2 bil. I got greedy last time and it collapsed before I could sell off.

I don't think that other time was official, as buy orders hadn't broken 1B.

And that's pretty much it, people are holding a lot of it. Multi-training is up there too, it gets held onto, sold, held onto some more. CCP has said PLEX changes hands a couple times on avg. I don't think the avg player understands what's going on nor how it actually effects player online numbers factoring in the introduction of multi-training as well. Some of which I'm sure are bitter wow vets ashamed their game took a slump and see every game as on the ledge ready to jump off and die. Well here's hoping the next wow expansion brings back their flying mounts so they can stop their ragequitting and return to the only game that makes them heppy.

You know the people buying them with cash aren't using them to sub their accounts right? They're selling them for isk to people who ARE using them to sub accounts. What you just said makes no sense, because as long as I can sell plex on the market, I will buy it from CCP with my credit card.

I'd be worried about plex if they suddenly became 8~10 bill

That's about the top end of "flogging in and full time making isk to pay for subs" sort of prices.

Still peanuts for 30 days of play

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships
