Hellllooo, so I won a Zombie Walk Override Token during the Halloween event and can see it's gone down in value loads. Do I keep it for a few months? Do y'all reckon it will go up in value?


Honestly, it is tough to say. Short-term, there will certainly be fluctuations. We've seen these drop as low as the 110m - 120m range during the promotion, rise above the 300m price point and it appears there's stabilization occurring within the 150m - 170m range or so. I personally see it rising slightly over the months, but any rise I see being in the middle or high 200 range. If it is able to break 300m, I could see the price rising upwards to around 400m - 500m, however, I don't see zombie walks ever rising above those levels if they're going to be returning every single year.

They were relatively rare to obtain during this promotion, with some individuals reporting 1,000 + Treasure Hunter key dry streaks. Additionally, there was also consumer demand for this token from folks wanting to unlock it for years and not doing so obviously due to the previous 8b - 10b street traded levels.

Only time will tell where these will end up, along with other tokens in the market. Grab some popcorn! ;)

Theos,

I agree with what you wrote, but zombie peaked at 17b, that we know of anyway. It was probably some staker buying, but 17b was more than a bsh at the time, I think. Possibly that was a phat in value. I know who sold zombie for 17.

I doubt it will hit 1b ever again. Jagex doesn’t currently like any tokens being priced highly. A huge number entered the game from event. The only possible scenario where it goes up to max is a no release year.

Yes, we're seeing a lot of things be reintroduced. Why? "Fairness" and "player demand" (usually sampled from Reddit, and highly unreliable and unrepresentative sources rather than a robust system like a poll or survey)

Conceptually, I have a problem with these reintroductions when they're done so based on the opinion of a few Jagex staff members or a few random reddit users. I didn't realize Zombie walk hit 17b at the peak. If an item is intended to be introduced, I think the reintroduction should be swift. Allowing an item to reach billions in value and then deciding to reintroduce it seems unreasonable to me.

I agree with you that I don't see 1B+ Zombie walks ever happening again, unless there is a gap of time in reintroduction. The market cap for Zombie walks in the game is likely in the trillions of GP anyway. I don't think there are players wealthy enough individually to collect such a number for the price to ever hit that point again.

Time will time, but I see zombie walks being in the 120m - 500m range this year. If they are released next year, naturally, we'll see new lows.

Glad this thread didn't get taken down by the resident offender, Forums is already almost dead but happy to see Jagex wants it to die since nothing has changed on the moderation side.

I think that's the issue here, Jagex finally killed the notion of "player-driven economy" this year because they actively regulate what items can go high.

Just in the past month:

1. Jagex shafted people who had Zombie Walks because they thought the "price was too high"
2. Jagex shafted people who had the Staff of Armadyl because they thought the "price was too high"

I think you started to play less as well @Trip once Jagex kept threatening Assassin walk re-release because the price was too high as well.

I don't actively play anymore because of the current management but it's sad to see the current iteration of Jagex running the game into the ground. They think they're doing a good job because of the thousands of steelseries RS alts that people made during Halloween, but they successfully managed to kill off a lot of their older playerbase.

Part of what got me into RS was the player-run economy, but now Jagex decides what investments can go up or not, instead of supply/demand.

What happened to Le Me and Rubber turkeys was just one other example.

OSRS is doing fine at least on the bright side.

Buy limit is 2 so gonna be a while before any major natural changes unless jagex manually increases its price. Grim harvest could come back next halloween for a limited time, so think about selling your walk in september at the latest.

The decisions Jagex has made to rerelease tokens (and turkeys) seems to be very popular with the players not just on Reddit. The large majority do not see tokens as investments but cosmetics and nice gp prices from TH. Jagex will mostly try to meet most players needs not a handful of merchers.

I hope zombie walk will settle around 500m, that way it can be a nice TH price but also not crazy expensive if someone wants to buy it. I highly doubt it'll go above 300m tho, the current demand is purely driven by people betting on it going up in price. I know a few that bought in at 200m+ and are currently looking to sell their tokens and exit the market, all those tokens need to be sold before zombiewalk can rise again. Probably 2 months+

It’s more than a handful of merchants. Many players would collect tokens with time, enjoy as they went up, and keep playing as they got rich from the old rewards. Zombie was rare; so, you’d have one or two on various accounts.

It’s just an attempt at driving out older players, welcoming in new. Jagex doesn’t want players spending too much time in rs, which might be healthier. It’s odd to shrink a player base is all.

The old rs would cause hospitalization in very young, even thin,players who would play for long hours without moving, all to obtain rares. Jagex, understandably, didn’t want to be a game that harms young boys.

It’s many factors really, also just a change in management. The merchant case is just that people bought new tokens after selling rares, or declined to buy rares after playing a lot. When rares go up, it’s fine; but tokens have been classed as different. So, the call comes to be to bring rares back.

Zombie will settle around 20m long term if released annually. High value tokens have low supply or are hoarded. As Theos said, it’s only up currently because of past demand. An annual release will kill it. Th will just become boring. Hotsand is something like 2.5m

Rs used to be about merching. The game was boring otherwise. And players used to put in years of play time, ruining their lives, or enjoying retirement, or escaping from some bad situation in life.

I got into rs partly because I was just amazed at the possibilities of such a platform. I was having troubles at the time too, but originally I wanted to create a new platform like this. Today, I guess the Internet isn’t as new.

The game is much more developed, but it’s like a new game now. Anyway, it’s just a game.

I do think the old way of nft rares is the major reason rs endured. So, new rares would be good. Regularly released tokens are just boring. Nft, in whatever form, work. New players who don’t want to stick around for long won’t keep the servers running.

Also curious: how many tokens were in circulation before and right after the re-release?

The price dropped to about 1/60 of the original value, but I highly doubt we now have 60 times as many tokens.
