Hello,

Had a curious question about the top 5 most expensive servers on SRO..

Which ones are they? and Why are they that expensive?

Is it because of those 3rd party sites, selling gold and that whole cycle?

It's very much ridiculous how much gold someone has to pay for items..
I'm asking because there are items on Iris that go for 1 billion or more gold and I don't want to risk getting scammed, any ideas on how to do a trade like that?


Thanks in Advance for your replies!

The older the server, the more expensive the prices


Follow the formula xD!

for example if a new server opened 2 days ago.. they dont have enough money to buy a wep elixer like they do in a server like xian which opened like 5 years ago..


Simple

no it's not that simple. you're talking about absolute numbers. older server = higher absolute prices, but often relatively lower prices. in older servers you can buy gold at a very cheap price. that's why they have that inflation. when I quit the game a weapon elixer was 150-200k. now it's 1.5-2m I believe. but everyone can afford it because there's enough money in circulation. new server = lower absolute prices, but relatively higher prices. in new servers there isn't much money in circulation, yet people seem to ask ALOT for items. though the people selling stuff don't ask the same prices as on older servers, their prices are still relatively expensive when you look at the money circulation in new servers.

well said heroo. Put it this way, if you start over in an older server, you can get 100m easy just by selling some stuff and elixirs but in a new server, your 100m value of the old server just equal to 10m.

He only asked about the prices... The higher then # the higher the price.. sure the value might be different

The formula I was explained to on Iris was the following:

How much does it cost to buy 10m gold on those 3rd party websites which is worth how much silk is bought by $ on the game's website..

Say a server is 10m = 1$ = 10 Silk.. then something that would cost 290 Silk like Prem+ would = 290m.. now that's break evening the whole thing.. but people often go and sell Silk items such as Prem+ on Iris worth 900m to 1000m.. that's cause buying 1000m on Iris is worth about 34.5$ and the guys there wanna make a profit out of it and some even resell the gold in game for $$ through paypal and other sites..

If you wanna buy items for more then 1b you can work with a middle man. Like someone who the 2 parties know and trust. Can be difficult to find someone like that though.

or wait 1 more week and the stall cap would be raised to 10 billion .
