Hi all,

I was curious as I have tracked Donator Pack prices for a long time. Recently, over the last month the price jumped from $16.5 - $17 Million range to well over $20 Million. I am curious as to why? Is there less supply? Did something happen?

It's a pretty big increase that has now held for over a month, so I am curious.

Thanks in advance.

Its an organised effort by mothers world wide to hide their bank cards from their sticky fingered brats , thusly creating a shortage of donators. Simple supply and demand.

The higher it gets the more people will donate. Thus bringing prices back down

Supply and demand.

Flood the market with cheap points and watch them fall.

Another factor is the abundance of expensive energy drinks..Hmmm.

Cheers...Sub.

Enlighten me on how abundance of expensive energy drinks would affect the DP market?

I am thinking along the lines that Someone is trying to corner the market on them,,,someone bored,,someone smart,,someone with lots of cash to dispose of.... would be my thoughts.
&/or
Someone on the players committee has leaked info again...Now that just a nasty rumor.... surely none of our upright Committee member or staff would do such a thing.

Probably less people donating due to the time of year, either that or they are about to change something with DPs .

I can see how energy drinks, or Christmas items in general allow more people to be able to buy a donator pack with in game money, or have the money they would normally donate to get, thus creating a temporary shortage.

It's also possible, that a lot of noobs tried donator status through autumn newsletter for free and now they started to buy them..

more people making money in game so making 20 mill could take a few weeks. money becomes close to worthless once you been at it long enough. so whats the real point of buying with real cash? only new players or people desporate for a quick 20 mill buy them with real life cash.

LOL, this is torn city. Explaining something makes no difference. People will start a thread to start a thread rather than to get an answer.

Every thread about prices has someone explaining the supply/demand. There will still be another thread when the prices go back down :/

Its not rocket science, just supply and demand...But do like TIGRRRR's example

And agree every time time something goes up/down in value a few people need to start a thread to find some hidden agenda..

I'm not really sure exactly how energy drinks are affecting it but my guess would be that it is affecting it because richer players are buying energy drinks from less rich, like myself, and then the donator packs are more easily accessible to the less rich because of their money fluctuation

I buy almost all items. Prices are extremely negotiable and I try to favor the seller. Mail/trade me if interested.
