In recent weeks, the market in Dekein has become unstable, and as such many people are attempting to evac or get value out of anything they can.


The Imperium Exodus: There are reasons to believe that the Imperium maintained several caches of PLEX, both as an organization, but also as a means of holding onto wealth for some.What may be considered a “perfect storm”, the PLEX market was impacted by several things all at once: Soon after, CCP Quant himself stepped in to deny accusations of direct manipulation, as well as lending some insight into to the relationship between PLEX, CCP, and the market, in addition to more about his position within EVE as Senior Business Analyst.īy the end of the day, PLEX prices had somewhat recovered, however still remained below the 1 billion mark, a major water mark for many economists in EVE. While PLEX had been moving downward for an already rare market trend, the event was so unprecedented that accusations of CCP manipulation began flying on Reddit. In one day, the day of Citadel’s launch, PLEX dropped from ~1.1 billion to buy orders as low as 850 million in Jita. Historically, PLEX has only gone up, increasing over the last five years from a low of around 500 million ISK, all the way to the lofty height of 1.2 billion. While most other value in EVE is tied to base materials (ores, PI, ice, etc.), PLEX is tied to the inherent value of game time, along with the overall economic might in EVE players. However, Citadel has had a profound effect on the market, pushing up Planetary Interaction goods, sending fuel blocks into fits, causing the builders of New Eden to begin planning for some of the most ambitious constructions in EVE history.įor almost as long as EVE has existed, PLEX has been the gold standardįor almost as long as EVE has existed, PLEX has been the gold standard. Due to the nature of EVE Online, and the way CCP handles expansions differently from developers of more theme park based MMOs, it is very rare for an expansion to collapse parts of the market. It is no different for EVE Online industrialists. With most MMOs, a new expansion means a new chance for crafters to ply their trade and the devaluation of now useless goods. With the release of Citadel, we have seen one of the greatest changes to EVE Online in several years. The Great PLEX Crash of YC 118 Ashterothi on Share Tweet
