Iceland imports a heck of a lot of stuff as they are a little snowy island. For instance, the island has only one banana plantation, and it's in my imagination. Things like this contribute to higher prices. Lanfear's Bane.

And what exactly does this have to do with CCP increasing subscription prices?

Originally by: Xachiriah And what exactly does this have to do with CCP increasing subscription prices? Nothing... just that Reykjavik is one of the top 3 most expensive cities in the world. So who knows, they might decide to increase prices just to offset the expense I thought that I would nip it in the bud - so to speak - before the idea flowers. Oh and: WTB: Chukles.

...and the fact that Lanfer's Bane nailed it right on the head. Iceland is a lil' Island in the middle of...... nowhere. Stuff has to be imported. Oil, food, cars... even though you can walk from one end of the island to another in like 3 minutes. Japan is expensive because of it's extremely dense population. Tokyo is the worst because it's the most populated city in the world. Norway..... shocks me a bit. They're so close to Europe. How is it so expensive to live there? ----- Vult: 10 exotic dancers in the loot can. w00t. Sevan te'Gehara: Gonna bring 'em back to corp hq and say "Lap dances for all?" Vult: Nah, sold 'em all for 1.01 isk each. Cheap wh*res.

CCP probably already know how expensive it is there, as most, if not all of them probably live there. --------------------------------------------------

Originally by: Vult Norway..... shocks me a bit. They're so close to Europe. How is it so expensive to live there? Wealth is more equally distributed in the Scandanavian countries which means the average citizen has more money in their pocket than their counterparts in western Europe etc. Companies increase their prices accordingly, although those living in Oslo probably dont feel the heat as much as they would if they were earning a UK salary for example. Basically the higher the wealth of a city, the higher prices will be for goods. It's like that with house prices in London compared to the rest of England. That's how I explain it anyway. I may be wrong.The Eve Diplomacy Table
