Hi all.
I want you to know I'm really sorry about leaving for 10 months, hence the title of this entry.
What I've noticed, 10 months on, is that prices in the Marketplace have soared. For example:
Holy $#17 was 22,000 gold now 45,000 gold [+48.9%]
Fallen Wish 4th Gen was 250,000 gold now 700,000 gold [+71.4%]
Rock Puppy was 7,000 gold now 11,000 gold [+36.4%]
Grunny was 43,000 gold now 80,000 gold [+46.3%]
Dander was 80,000 gold now 150,000 gold[+46.7%]
Red Volt was 200 gold now 1,000 gold [+500%]

..and these are just some of the items known to have increased.
The numbers above are estimates and percentage increase is rounded to 1 decimal place. Prices reflect value on February 2009 and February 2010. But why has it increased? In some cases, some are Monthly Collectibles and they're expected to rise over time. Look at the Kiki Kitty Plushie, now worth over 1 million Gold. But Red Volt is ordinary (and was in February '09, very cheap). and not MC or Evolving Item. So why? Is it Gaia member's being greedy. I've seen some ties going for about 50 gold more than their store price!!

Sorry about that. But I had my reasons for saying that. It seems everything has inflated since last year. I returned at the end of January 2010, but everything I would like to have had (Nano-C, for example) is now about 550k. I sound pretty geeky but all of this is now true. Gaia Online members from at least 2009 will have seen it all.

And the tie thing - it's true. Antarctic White Polyester Ties were being sold for 400 Gold yesterday and that was the lowest list price.

I don't know what's also happened with all our guilds. Some guilds are high fliers, but mine and Gabe009 (not Gabe005 anymore)'s guilds have been left deserted for at least 6 months now.

I'll think more to write next time
Thanks
