Sorry didn't see all the pings and stuff because I'm not super active on here anymore. (Does anyone want to take over this topic? Though the spreadsheet is still being kept up with everyone's help!

Data that would be really helpful: if you kept or start keeping track of the usershop prices over the years for the most commonly traded goods, such as 500 Credit Gift Card and 1 Month Gold Account Medal, beyond the 3 months that I think you currently track based on the Item Directory graphs. That'd go a long way in showcasing inflation!
[/center] Just a general comment: Inflation was really bad in around 2009 to 2011. Too bad there aren't more data points but the average user sp during this time period was as follows: Dec/11/2008 1,968,328 Jun/04/2009 2,054,749 Feb/02/2010 4,363,656 Jan/07/2011 5,484,581 Sep/29/2012 10,175,771
your analysis is super nifty! [sub] (and makes what I have look like chickens scratching in the sand lolol) [/sub] thanks for your contribution :D
Hm. I did think about excluding the data from Subeta's early years, as they're not reflective of the current economy, but initially this project was to illustrate money supply and the difference between now and 2004 show this really well. If I were more active, I'd revamp the boards and make more charts and things lol, ones with all historical data and ones with just the relevant data.
Dang. It looks like 1Bill was taken out of the economy in one day from Alegarten. Guess that static shop idea worked as a pretty good sp sink.

It is listed on the [topic not found], which is essentially makes it a 'sticky' thread (with rare exceptions, threads beyond the useful thread and rules don't actually get physically stickied). Being on the useful thread list means it is also except from necro rules. :)
This post was very informative! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Looks like the editgird sever is down, but since there's a pretty big change and even more chances are about to happen I wanted to jot this data down to add later.

Just wow o_o I would have never thought about something like that. Thanks for explaining!

I'm shocked at how little you used to need for richest user. Wow.
The gap between the richest user and the second richest user is massive. It's also massive between the second and like the 20th. There's just a handful of people with very huge amounts but then it stabilizes to more "acceptable" numbers.
Also the money you can carry in your vault used to be limited for the longest time. When the limit was lifted it started shooting up.

It has gone up another good bit in 5 days... Of course some of that was from spending 4,621,450,969sP, to buy up DPs and whatnot.
