No mmo has ever created a successful ingame economy because the game prints money when you kill monsters and it eventually undergoes hyperinflation. They end up resorting to huge gold/item sinks and price controls to try to fix it. Sounds familiar … 🤔 maybe design “gold” systems with scarcity in mind. I haven’t found a game that does this right.

It was the best, we used to play it on the downlow in computer lab haha i dont know what was a worse offense at school playing runescape or stealing the mouse balls
I was GM and main tank of the top horde guild on azgalor in WoTLK. So much time spent that game. Definitely my favourite game of all time.
I was main tank in WotLK for my guild too. We had server first Lich King kill. I never watched the video of world first so I had no clue what happened. I screamed during the wipe event 😂😂
I was main tank for so damn long, I dunno why I switched to supports in Overwatch. I guess I wanted a change. I loved my Orc Blood Death Knight though 🥹 I used to do theory crafting back in the day on Elitist Jerks 😂
The best moment for me was server first princess huhuran in AQ. Was the most fun and skilled tank fight in all of wow

Nope free to play private WoW server based on WoTLK run very well with a huge active community, and several tweaks that are very nice.
watching party hats sky rocket in price was my introduction to fiat inflation. i just didnt have the words yet. drop a username yo
A part of me wishes I practiced good password management back then. My character is somewhere waiting to fish and hodling a rune scimmy.
yeah dude. my friend came over and said "have you heard about bitcoin? it is limited supply of 21million and some say the first and only digital asset with absolute scarcity" my scarcity reference trigger was rune classic Party Hats. I had a White Phat, looked up the value and was very shocked. hadn't thought much of RS since like 2003. YOUVE GOT ME SO FIRED UP, NOW IM GOING TO HI-ALCH 25K YEW LONGS FOR FUN!
rs also thought me how to identify scammers 10 years before shitcoins were invented 😂
