[Lucid:]

I managed to become Gaia "middle class" (at least for the time I was there) by scumming the marketplace. But it was way too hard to keep up. I left and after a while I went back to donate all my items to my old friends. Seeing how much things had inflated in a little under a year made me feel sick. I had just enough gold to buy a single CURRENT donation item from the market place. I had about 100k. I don't even want to know how much that junk costs right now.
