So I was wondering how big of an effect will the new changs to the gold sysytem coming up will have an effect on the MP.

I've been debating on weather to buy and sell some items now or wait a bit.
Something is telling me to buy later but sell now, so I was wondering your suggestions.

My own opinion is that you're right.

Historically, when Gaia makes adjustments like this, the MP reacts by going down no matter what actually happens. And assuming that they really are going to be restricting the gold a great deal (I'm looking at you, Booty Grab), prices will really drop.

When this happens in real life, it's called a sale.

Right now I'm being VERY careful about any cash being put into the MP and being far less aggressive about pricing than I might be. I do have some items I'm sitting on right now and I figure I'm going to be sitting on them for quite some time to come - but again, historically speaking, the MP always recovers and prices rise above where they were before. But sometimes a lot of patience is required.

Meanwhile, I'm grabbing as much Booty as my wrists will permit.

I have noticed for a few weeks that the overseer grants less gold than before.

I've noticed my overseer profit going down. That used to be my cash cow. I could make 100k in 3 days. Now its quite a bit less.

yeah, the overseers down, but your first post of the day is worth 75g, and if you leave or don't post for awhile it can get back up into the high 60's for one post, so the amount for posting has gone up.

That's still diddly squat compared to the days when the Overseer would drop 5000 gold or an Elegant Black Satin Coat or Blue Milady bodice on you.

Very true, I was stocking up on fairy wings ; 3;
I've decided to get all the sales done now, that I can think of anyway. I've been noticing price drops too......
I wonder what that means for this summer, thats when the mp gets hectic.

All I know is that I hope that the mp isn't going to be as bad as last year. I lost alot due to sudden drops in prices.
