You've got whole of Hibernia shopping for a new suit, the prices are going to skyrocket.

Thanks mate, but as alot of us are affected it is a pain for many, for those theat have sc'd stuff and arti's wether activated or not it must be a real pain, just glad none of my mains, house vault and consignment merchant were affected.

Yep she had a chain vest which was green to her, starter shield and sword, then some vests you get upto to 25 in the char's inventory, have left her like this so GOA will see if they investigate.

Yup giving money was a bad idea. However, I assume that 75p is overstating the amount ? Presumably that is only for people who were hit really bad.

What would be better would be to give each person a pick of one of say 30 ROG items for each one they lost rather than cash. You lose a ROG sword and they generate 30 of them and you can pick the best one. Maybe add an npc to do it

. That way you add value to the economy rather than adding just cash.

Simple as that. Won't bring in new money besides the salvage value but bring back the drops.

If they continue giving away money like that we will have three to four times the money around we have now plus we have much less items. Especially when we won't get replacement for all those spellcrafted MP armour parts. Expect hundreds of people in need of new MP armour + 75 plats on them...

Selling MP cloth boots 10 plat only!

Counting it's like 5p to get to lgm tailoring, you have 75p on your char= hint hint.

Yup and in fact the third cause of inflation is also present - more currency in circulation. The more they give away, the less each individual coin is worth, and with the same number of people competing for the same range of items, all the extra money does is guarantee a price increase.

Sounds they need to put up a CM with a bunch of MP stuff on it at a fixed price, with roughly the same amout of MP equipment that went missing. Economics gonna be totally furbarred otherwise.
