IMO

Since these items can't naturally drop in-game, they will remain fairly stable. They will reduce a little further in price though before settling, and potentially increase again a little.

Items which do drop, will plummet until a point where people would rather Charsi then sell, and then increase again a little.

Not going to explain why I think this is the case.

D2R playerbase will massively decrease within 6 months. Most players are new to D2 or are players who have returned due to nostalgia, 80% of them will be gone come summer. (Probably a long time before. January-February.) Out of the remaining 20%, 25% will return to D2. Splitting the playerbase 35-40:65-60, which is bad for both D2 and D2R.

At the moment, prices of non GZ items, such as perfect uniques are higher on EU non-ladder than ladder now. Non-ladder will get a reality check within a year.

That's my prediction anyways.

Lot's of good responses, seems like most disagree with me. While I do believe items except GG and undroppable items will approach 0. I still believe D2 will survive, unless Blizzard actually switches the servers off.

I want to add that I have no alternative motive. I have no GG or undroppable items. I returned to D2 due to Covid, and don't sit on any GG items.

Another factor that has not been brought up is that Yogi and Snow are now spending their hard gained FG buying items, which increases the liquidity of FG again. If someone who has grinded D2R decides they want to buy a character or two again in D2 again, they will press up the prices as they are now willing to spend more than earlier as they have a massive surplus in D2 terms.

Before people quote and argue: I am not saying I am correct. Just throwing some thoughts out there.

I actually prefer the old graphic when playing D2R. :P



Yeah. I don't play D2 for the graphics and I assume no one here did/does.

Logged into classic d2 and played around after experiencing the graphics of d2r

The old game just doesn’t feel right anymore no matter how clunky d2r is

It’s like you’ve been in a prison with good respectable decent food for many years, and then you’re released into the world and now you’re eating everything good out there.. you’re not thinking about the prison food even though it was decent. You’ve moved on, you have new standards now, you’re looking forward not backwards.

I've played d2r for tops an hour, but this is very true. When you press "g" in d2r and see how the old game looks, theres just no going back...

original d2 is the better game (i played both)
d2r not worth to play since, all the interesting prepatch/bugged/hybrid items/charms dont exist


what does d2r bring? Oh right:

-ugly amazons
-fat barbs
-transgender assasins?
-server downs
-Payed Baalruns :rofl:
