Mind Blown

"In the three days since the update, more than 17.5 trillion GP has been traded in player-to-player trades, nearly 10 trillion GP has been staked in duels and dropped in Wilderness kills, and a massive 19.5 trillion GP has been traded on the Grand Exchange, not to mention the huge number of generous gifts between players! That's a total of around 47 trillion GP! Just to give you some context, 1 trillion GP would currently get you 1,222 blue party hats, so there has certainly been a lot of trading.

That 17.5 trillion in player-to-player trades is greater than the total value of stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange during the same period. You could buy all the gold bullion in Fort Knox nearly three times over, and the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are worth a mere 20 million. In fact, 17.5 trillion is more than the entire GDP of the European Union!"

"04-Feb-2011 - Free Trade Competition"

It is 3 days old wtf are you talking about? A lot of people still haven't seen this, sorry if you have. This post wasn't made directly for you anyways so gtfo .

 

Well it was posted 3 days ago so it showed up here 3 days ago as well.
What Gurtaton says is true.

I still find it sad that they compare RSGP to currency on a 1:1 basis.

 

Well I didn't see it till now so I'm sure others haven't either. I'm just sharing it anyways and I'm sure some people will find it interesting.

 

lol i posted this on the day it was release and the free wildy t shirt that they were offering to guess how much they have traded

 

woah this is crazy! i havent seen this before either.

 

lol'd @ "not to mention the huge number of generous gifts between players!"

 

Lmfao yeah that was probably a majority of Sythe users .

 

It's amazing for the fact that they expect millions of unbalanced trades to be going through constantly. I have transferred sooooo much gold around and not gotten banned. why? because everyone is doing it.
