Gold Prices and RS3

[Prodragon]

Do people expect gold prices to rise due to RS3 (a surge in players).

With EoC we saw a decline in price along with the 2007scape release.

Thoughts?

The prices are currently rising a little after bottoming out at 15-20¢/M (buy) - now 25-33¢/M (buy)

RS3 took a lot of bots offline, so I have a feeling that's part of the reason prices are rising in addition to the general excitement surrounding an update of this scale.

Rs3 gold might hit .50/m

EoC caused a gold crash, so did RS3. Right when RS3 was released, the bulk buy price dropped from .29 to .22 for a short while. Gold has been going up since then because of increased botting detection, up to .34

It's going up at the moment. Relatively high demand and low supply from bots.

Demand for gold always raises a little during summer a lot of kids only play during summer (same reason RS items rise at this time and crash in september).
With PB in a spot of bother prices will probably raise more.

id like to see it reach .40 at least

As Nytrix said the lack of bots in RS3 will effect the price. It will fall again as bots come back into play.

Low supply, high demand - rise in prices. Especially with Jagex's marketing, there will be a high rise in numbers of new players, although they won't know much about the black market, but down the track they will, which would lead to an increase in prices also.

 

[Frugal]

Surely they will rise because of the lack of bots because of the HTML .... but I wouldn't expect them to get really high as 07 did but a decent rise will happen. ... supply and demand man.

 

[byte]

I imagine it will rise, just because of reduced bots creating the supply in the game.

Well we have the evidence . Prices for both games are rising and a pretty similar rate (manily due to the high amount of gold exchanging taking place) yet I believe they will infact rise further.

I personally think one of the big factors of this is the nerf of gambling. Gambling brough a whole load of wealth into one specific place and person which obviously where to become big sellers of gold at the time.

Of course bots etc are factors that have effected this buy I think gambling is one also

i hope it get 0.5 bux per m

It'll probably go up a bit more but after that it'll go down again.

 

[DDice]

rsgp will probably hit .45/m

 

[Feelgewd]

for now it's dropping and people are holding there stocks for some reason. but i'm sure it will increase again. it's just some sort of a undercut fight lol

 

[Cashmuney]

gold prices will definately rise cause bots are getting banned and gold will be in a scarcer supply.

 

[Prodragon]

Thanks!

While bots were steadily being banned because the botclients were detectable, they're now not. So until Jagex can detect clients again, I expect RS3 to go back down shortly, if just a bit.
