I actually ran out of liquid isk yesterday ridding plex. I love unstable markets, preferably when I create them myself but I'm happy to ride them when I see them. I put 7b+ profits in the books yesterday.

I do well in seeing short term trends and futures, but what does the long term future hold for plex??

plex price rising coz big issue with eve economy - inflation,
isk heavy people prefer to keep plex instead of liquid isk coz inflation

and coz that you have funny guys who keeping 300+ plexes and dont even trying to sell them

then low stock on market is easly manipulated

i talked about it with friend who keeping such amout of plexes (and giving them for free sometimesCool)

I'm surprised we have not seen a recent PLEX sale.

Sudden spikes in price will always bring in new investors. You'll probably witness another price hike before it falls.

My question is how has it taken so long to go from 900 to here? Shouldn't we be at 2 bil already? I know hard core ratters can farm 25+ bil/month in null so its not a matter of having a price that's too high.

We've seen over the years a fairly consistent percentage of our player base PLEX their accounts. If this percentage begins to decline consistently, and is not being counteracted by an increase in subscriber counts, then I'm sure we would take a look in to the system.
So far, to my knowledge, even with the ruble plummeting recently, the overall subscriber ratio hasn't really been affected. People who couldn't afford to pay subscription began PLEXing their accounts. The same is true in reverse for the PLEX speculation spike that happened late last year. The overall subscriber count wasn't really affected. After the Black Friday PLEX sale PLEX prices hovered steadily around 800m ISK for around 4 months.


That's CCP's explanation on the steady prices. It's player driven market anyway, so they are not obliged to react, but they observe it anyway. I am sure CCP keep an eye on this thread too.

I noticed recently that the free game time for new accounts was upped to 30 days. I wouldn't be surprised if that change has had its share in the accelerated PLEX price hike.

As others have said, there's too much money floating around the system.

Sorry you had to go through this terrible condition. What on earth does begging for RL money have to do with EVE, though?

There are so many funny things in this thread:

"Plex has not value ingame, it cant be underpriced."
Yeah, playing EVE has not value. The sole instrument of sanctioned ISK farming for selling by RL currency has not value. The one thing that allows people to play to pay has no value. Imagine if plex were important, how much it would cost ? Roll

"Plex price is being manually manipulated."
Yeah. We had tons of sales in the past, both for returning and new players, which I see most people playing the game havent bothered to check. I had bought plex for less then 10 USD for a while resubbing my old accounts. That were a lot. For me it paid the bother to resub all old account I had throught the years playing just to buy cheaper plex instead of buying a bulk in the main account. Suddenly, it all stopped and then we are back everyone to the same IRL price of plex. But yeah, it is a mistery the prices are going up.

"Plex price is being manually manipulated." II - The return of the mummy.
Yeah, the fact that both USD and EURO, major IRL currencies for buying plex skyrocketed in most eve playing countries outside the US and Europe, therefore making plex in average 25% more expensive around the rest of the World in the space of couple days.

What I see is that plex prices are being kept down in face of the circumstances. Because all the natural forces that should act are pushing prices up, not down.

It already went up to 1.11 b shortly around the 26th to 27th. (or 28th.)
It is back down to 1.04, 1.03, 1.02

I predict again (conservatively, as analyst forecast , while still hiding the source of my data) a 10% to 20% raise in price starting in 3 days , at 1.1b to 1.2b , September to October of this EVE Year.

Edit:
This, starting at the 960m, 970m ISK value. (* 1.1= 1.156 b ISK ; * 1.2 = 1.252 b ISK)
2.
I forgot number 2.
But I never analysed the volume yet, it will be the first year that I start to analyse the volume.
However, it does take more resources than I have at this time to make it worthwhile for me to analyze the volume(s) yet.
