Yeah. xP and those jeans were like 2k when I got them. And I have a spare pair.. lol. I sold them. Someone actually bought them. For 44k. What the ********.  

[Minielf]

Wow, the inflation rate on those prices is ridiculous. Maybe it's a result of all of the excess gold that people have won from the Gaian lottery flooding the marketplace.  

[Niphz]

I thought that, but that's the thing - Gaia doesn't ADD any gold to the lotto, the fund is purely made up of what people put in, right? And I'm SURE they must take a percentage off of that, since you buy tickets in round numbers (100g each) but the jackpot is never a round number. So it can't be adding to inflation. :/ also it's like, completely RANDOM items which have gone up, not exactly the ones you'd expect, whilst loads of other items have stayed pretty still (why has the urn gone up by like 400k, but hermes moon not?).

All confusing. Charlie, if you're around, feel like explaining? D;

In other news: I have Google Wave ^__^;  

[Sphenni]

@ Niphy: What's Google Wave?

I didn't know Mercury's Moon existed until last month ¬.¬  

[Niphz]

I have no idea about any of the new items at all, really. P:  

[Sphenni]

The quality of new items is decreasing horrendously...

I mean, what is with this month's collectibles? Wizard and Unicorn? How many wizards and unicorns have they had in the past? And they are both so ugly- the unicorn looks like something out of a freak show ¬.¬  

[Niphz]

The orig unicorn horn was stupidly exp as well for some reason.  

[Minielf]

I've long given up buying any new items-even though my gold's now up to 35K. I can't be bothered spending it anymore.  

[Niphz]

Apparently that won't even buy you a pair of jeans. confused  

[Sphenni]

Hahahaha!

I don't even know half of the stuff that they have on Gaia any more: "Acid Teru Teru Bozu"? "Raider Shih's Garment"?!

And since when has there been a "Deluxe flame pants" which apparently costs 22k?!  

[Niphz]

Wtf is this s**t about getting rid of tobacco-related items? xP

*clings to her cig, cigar, drag and kiseru*  

[Minielf]

I think Gaia's gone PC. xd Oh well it doesn't affect me the slightest-I wouldn't even smoke fake online tobacco.  

[Sphenni]

I don't have any tobacco-related items anyway...

Actually, I did have a kiseru, I wonder where it went? -looks around in inventory-

By the way, does anyone know if you can use "Now" in past tense?
I know you can write "Then, she was able to do something."
I want to write "Now, she has finally returned" in past tense.  

[Niphz]

You can, but only if you construct it well..

"Jasmine ate her cake. Now, feeling full, she ran outside and screamed."  

[Sphenni]

WTF since when was angelic headband only 50k?! I was always under the impression that it was so expensive that I would never save up enough for it...

Ugh... Sentence construction= nightmare.

O.O nice avi, by the way.
