Torn inflation

As a new player I wanted to ask old players how big the inflation was when they played and what did Xanax cost?

xans cost the same. its just about everything else that goes up or down. same with donator packs

edit

dont ask me why i know though im not an expert on torns economy, you just notice that some things change and others stay the same. something about a "drain" idk

you can check out by clicking the value section

But what was the average networth of a single player

Ched set game inflation to be acceptable around the 20% range, and he’s said he is good with that.  He has control over the majority of the factors that feed into that 20% and can tweak the things if and when needed.

Although not xanax-specific, this post (and Ched's reply) pretty sums up the current state of Torn's economy :

Where Did Torn Go Wrong? A Veteran's Honest review

Points dropping from a controlled base of $45k to a free market adversely affected a lot. 

Seemingly every time I go to sell something recently it's dropped significantly in price. Generally, this is because it used to only be available in certain ways/areas and has since been added as, for example, a crimes 2.0 outcome.

Fruitcake is probably the most egregious example. Used to go for $200-500k+ whenever you needed one for that Duke mission, now they're at Bits 'n Bobs for $30 a pop. 

I don't think the OC has had a massive impact on the price of Xanax compared to the number of people actively flying it, and the ever lowering price of it abroad in places like Japan and UK, meaning even more is being brought back to TORN. 

It's important to be clear that this definition of inflation covers the money supply in game. It does not cover either the cost of in game items or the purchasing power of in game money (the definitions of inflation that sane people use)

now I'm interested in those spikes

Inflation depends on supply and demand ie. Game devs. When devs increase supply the price go down , when there is an attacking event the price goes up because people use more xanax. This goes for all other items. 

If you are interested in overall game inflation and economics, you could look at the Torn Economic Review.  I think they started around 2015.  Initially expected to be annual, I think they come out a little less often now.

Here are the ones I could find

2016: https://www.torn.com/economic_reports/2016review.pdf

2019: https://www.torn.com/economic_reports/AUG2019.pdf

2020: https://www.torn.com/economic_reports/AUG2020.pdf

2022: https://www.torn.com/economic_reports/AUG2022.pdf

These have good information about the faucet-drain model that Torn uses.
