Plex are key to an up coming one time event(the event the initial use of Incarna). But the supply of plex ON THE MARKET is more or less static. This means Plex are going to climb and climb and climb as we approach Incarna. Then most of those plex are going to be used up. And fairly quickly plex will settle back into a static price range only modestly higher than it was before.
There is no bubble - these plex are being bought to be used for the most part and there is more than enough isk in game to support any price.
-Many many people are going to want to try out the character customization.
-EVE has a fantastic amount dead isk. Whether its the average vet player with 1 or 2 Bill in reserve or fairly common rich guy with between 20 or 200 bill that he just sits on. There is lots of money that people just dont use, but they will for something that seems new and exciting - once.
But a week or 2 after Incarna it wont be near as exciting, and so the frenzy will end. Players who didnt care much or couldnt afford to get in at the start will get they want piece mill over time and their initially failure to get in on the excitement will make that easy to accept.

Thanks for this indepth insight into the complexities of the PLEX market. I don't know what I would do without your selfless advice.

Sounds like advice to me.

You da man, I wish my dong was as big as yours.
I agree that shooting people with a headache in the head is a good idea, because it will stop their headaches. |

I had written a rather smart ass essay on just this angle, but decided not to post it, it was a bit harsh. No bad words or anything, but did make CCP seem a bit silly, more silly than I feel they are so I didn't post it.
The main point of it was what Ghoest points out tangentially, marginal utility of "vanity" items. CCP will be forced to release new vanity items to keep Aurum in use. You, the hapless customer, will be forced to download this lump of ever increasing content to your hard drive, rent free to CCP of course, that you may then purchase.
Eventually there will be little new value in Space Pants and Federation Navy Ultra Faux Leather Moon Boots and let's not forget the Plaid Badger and Pink Feather Boa Combo-Pack. We'll probably get to use Aurum to buy furniture, redesign your CQ, get dance poles, get those gambling tables, bars, store fronts - you know, all that 'vain' stuff we've been teased with for years.

The value of these vanity items will be maintained as they will effectively be destroyed or disappear from the market when you play strip poker against the NPCs

I'm not so sure. How many pairs of lost Caldari Navy Underoos will it cost you to decide Caldari Underoos are not worth the virtually nonexistent virtual support?
I can imagine this conversation in the future,
JoeNoob: "Hey guys thanks for letting m join your corp! I have a question about this Quafe Jacket, is it worth it?" BitterBilly: "Nah, you'll just loose it, that stuff blows up if you loose your pod, and sooner or later you will. If you remember to undress into your default orange jump suit before you undock, i guess you can do that, but it's a pain to remember it." JoeNoob: "Well damn, that sucks!"
As for naked NPCs ... selling **** on the internet is like selling seawater on a ship.

Edited by: Krixtal Icefluxor on 12/06/2011 19:46:18 On June 21, the price of PLEX will change quite dramatically.
Anyone who logged on to Singularity 5 days ago knows why.
You'll see. It's a good one CCP is pulling, and you're gonna like it.

Even if we put all of our dongs end-to-end (no homo) we still wouldn't measure up to Ghoest's manhood.
