1. It was late 2004, or early 2005. i don't remember exactly, but it was ~$50/mil at the time, which i bought 1m at a time with 1-3 months between the purchases.

3. When did i say i made 100m+ in a few days? I said i made ~60m over about 2 MONTHS. The other ~70m came from nearly 6 years of playing (including 10 or 20m i had saved during the inflation and kept during an extended break i took until after gil values went way up, and 15~20m i inherited from a friend when he quit). Also not sure why it matters what gilsellers pay, since EGS exists, where you can get full market value for it, or slightly less.

You exaggerating or fully seriously about that comment?

Gil in 2004 was actually $10-15/M, now when the Xmas mass-ban in 2004 (Prob 2005 I think, forgot lol) happened that gil went up to a max of $50/M but never ever ever ever more than that.

100% serious. The crash was in 2005 and 2006. Your numbers are right, your time table is wrong.

In 2004 the competing price was $99 for g500,000.

Iirc, didn't it stay in the range of $30-50 throughout 2004? I could be wrong, but i don't think it got that low until at least 2005. The highest i remember seeing gil was somewhere around $55-60/mil, though i only started playing christmas 2003, and wouldn't have cared to check until at least the middle of '04, so i can't comment about what it cost before then.

edit: looking over archive.org, it looks like he's right:

No, in 2004 it was $99 for 500k =P. And that ongoing price was stable.
