Well thank you SOE for ruining the economy of Grobb. Im sure anybody on that server heard the constant spam about the movelog last night. It has been less then 24hours and spells have doubled in price, and foraged items (such as tin, iron, wood, etc) have become practically worthless. Pretty much anybody who is not high level can no longer make any kind of money. I was bringing in a few silver a night selling various foraged items at 10 to 40 copper each, but thanks to move log you can't even get over 3 copper for most of that stuff!
I don't blame any of the players, SOE is the one that that decided to advertise Grobb as a "Recommended newbie server" then transfer high level charactors from another server.
I can understand SOE wanting to move players to reduce lag and such, but there was better ways they could have handled it. For starters when new players log into EQ for the first time Grobb should not have been listed as the recommended server for newbies. Second they should have limited the transfers to people under certain levels (say level 25 and less). These are just a couple of options I can think of.
Anyways I am alot less happy with this game after they did this. I can't even afford to buy my Adept 1 spells now since they are all pretty much in the 1 gold range now. Before this transfer they was about 40 to 60 silver, sometimes even less. Pretty much rare items have sky rocketed and common items (stuff the native Grobb players can actually get to make money off of) are worthless. Im pretty much to the point I just destroy most of the foraged stuff, not worth the space it takes up in your inventory now.
I really don't mean this to insult the people who have transfered over, I blame SOE for handleing it the way they did. I think they should have set aside a server to do this, or go with one of the options I listed above for the server transfers.
