Just logged in and checked the market, as I always do. Purchasing Zen is getting more affordable very quickly - It's down 50 AD/pZ from where it was yesterday. I'll keep this thread up-to-date with market trends.
Zen Prices as of 12:07pm, 09/05 (PDT)
Buying; ~387 AD/pZ (385 min, outlier by 5 AD/pZ)
Selling; ~387 AD/pZ
Prices are based on Beholder.

It was at about 400 on beholder anyways.
The smart thing to do right now is to save all your AD while keeping an eye on the value of it.

What happens is, you get duplicated email and only one has the attachment but if you delete the other one, you lose both mails. Of course, your problem could have been caused by other things, but I saw this happening quite a few times
And those have been increasing a lot. Last weekend orders at each price were around 1.000 ZEN.
Today, they were around 10.000 ZEN.
I'm not sure if things are server-specific, so I can't say anything long-term. Also, there are no clear numbers out for how many founders there were, so no clear lump of AD.
But, if you take a 380 rate...10.000 ZEN ==>> people need to convert 3.800.000 AD to move the price 1-2 ZEN up. Right now the upward pressure from people gaining AD in game and using it to buy Zen-items is very weak compared to people throwing money at the devs and transforming it into AD.
Will be fun to see how the most common commodity (Enchanted Keys) goes about. It was trading at a loss until Monday (450 AD/zen = was worth 56k+, but people were selling them for 40-50k), but is now much closer to value, yet rising.
And now people are throwing in Gold and Glory! It's chaos!!!!
This is my opinion of course but if you guys google this issue, you will see that it happens often in F2P mmos.

I made a killing.
Given that Star Trek (run by the same people) has had it's prices fall (given the massive complaining threads by the zen sellers on their forums) down to the 90-130 level over the past year.... I doubt they have people keeping prices high.
...and actually, with the way the system works, "low" prices are better for PWE/Cryptic. Say you're a dude buying Zen to exchange for AD. You need 2mil AD. If the exchange is at 500? You don't need to buy nearly as many zen as if the exchange is at 100. So the conspiracy theory would be fed if the price was dropping like a meteor.
There is a small 'Withdraw' button in one of the tabs.. in the zen/AD exchange. Check that next time after the maintenace. I thought i had lost 379k AD when i exchanged it for Zen, but there it was, at the bottom of the screen - Withdraw option for AD n Zen. Hope this helps.

Kinda the same. I was trading in the margins to make AD and then made a mass conversion from zen to AD since the gray area shrank to a 1 or 2 AD difference between buying and selling. The price per zen will inflate again eventually when everyone who amassed AD to trade for zen once the value drops decides it's dropped low enough and starts pouring AD back in.
No, different servers have different exchange rates/order queues. I have one character on each server and the difference is quite noticeable sometimes.
Long-term this seems by far the most likely option.
Right now a lot of people had large AD reserves form the Founder's packs, but after this one-time influx of AD, the rate of the new AD is capped at 24K per character per day, while the amount of ZEN you can buy is dictated only by your income (and sanity levels). And realistically how many people are actually going to grind 24K worth of AD on even a single character every day.
Try two days before open launch. I was getting 497 or 500/zen. Cashing out at 250/zen in a few months, once the market dust settles. 7K zen will become 12-14K Zen, easily.
Just requires a lot of patience. I expect the market to go back up to 400/450 per for a bit as people horde AD for the double AD weekend, then it'll drop again.

Let me correct that for you: "you will see that these rumours exist for other MMOs as well."
You're welcome!
This is the part I'm wondering about.... I've played STO, and I know it's quite possible to get the 8k max Dilithium in an hour, or get a decent fraction of the 8k quickly on multiple characters. (And that's also ignoring that the sources of Dil cover everything from queued party activities, to optional party things, to solo things, with plenty for each.) But here - so many of the ways to get AD seem to run through the (slow) queue, and on top of that are long activities (45+ min dungeons, for ex).
So I wonder how many people are actually going to manage to max out their AD each day. Which means the supply of new AD entering the economy could be even lower than we're assuming. (Combined with the fact that the AD sinks removing it from the economy are much more than 3x the ones in STO.)
...meanwhile, double AD this weekend. Time to figure out how to get the most out of that.
