The amount of entries on the auction of each planet is a good representation of how the economy is doing. So for a while now I have been collecting data on all the planets auctions and put them in a table in the EP.com wiki showing the progress on each planet. Below you'll find the progress on the Next Island Auction. Below you'll find a graph showing the progress up until today For info on the other planets take a look here: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/AuctionTracker
To my opinion, not good enough. Simple things such as muscle at decent prices cant find a buyer. My mining amps as well, still, decently priced, not over MU in SB, a bit over for buyout....
from what I have seen for all the planets, the auction pager are going up, but Calypso stays about the same as you can see here: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/AuctionTracker
Our goal is, of course, a solid auction hall where all players can find what they need and can make a nice profit, but these things don't happen overnight. Next Island is on the way there, and it's encouraging to see the AH improving with each VU.
Well, it has been doing very the weeks after the VU, hope next time it will last months! Still, keep it going, things can only, and are, getting better to my understanding...looking forward the next VU.
