A Little Plat on the Side

Added 2024-09-27 00:29:24 +0000 UTC

The game economy and the Bank window have evolved together over the past two decades, due to the inevitable coin-flation that accompanies statflation in EverQuest II and other online games as they mature. When this game was new I didn't even know what a platinum piece was for the first few weeks, and now look at us. Players routinely trade in the billions and hundreds of billions, with some players accumulating wealth north of the trillion-plat mark.

When the Banking Sidebar was built just a few years ago, a million plat was at the far end of what we imagined you would need to transfer at any one time. Since then more digits have been added to accommodate 10 million and finally 100 million plat. At one point before Broker price limitations were implemented, the pricing window (which has the same interface) sported an extra one billion plat button.

In addition to the custom convenience features demonstrated in the above video, the premium Bank window has a couple of other interesting tweaks that were added after the video was published. Check them out here and here.
