Did you play on Stormhammer or have any actual experience with its economy?

I did and the economy really was fucked. Fungi’s were still stupid expensive going into GoD.

I played on $tormhammer but was super casual so can't really comment on the economy, but I do remember the regular GM events and being handed raid gear just for showing up so I didn't feel the need to spend anything beyond the $40 monthly fee.

You'd think the extra cost would keep most of the riff raff out but there was still plenty of degeneracy.

I used to play on Stormhammer back in the day and I would mail checks for some bozo to farm me fungi tunics.

The first few months the server was up was incredible for low-end guilds and casual players because the GMs did give out a lot of loot. There was even a zone that dropped loot at higher rates from easier mobs.

However, none of it was useful (beyond twinking alts) to any guild that was even moderately competent and a it was total waste of time for top-tier guilds.

Our main tank and I went to a GM event in commons. I think we’d just downed Fennin? He got a Raex BP to go with his elemental legs, and I got a Ssraeshzaen Blood Cord to go with my VT legs… just for showing up. GM was just inspecting people and handing out gear that felt right.
