During the March 21
😒t there was little change in the economy: Plato's recommended prices have become more closely linked to reality. He is now making the difference between different countries and also between different qualities of different goods in a country. For example, you may see that Q5 weapons are high in price in one country, while the price for Q1-4 in the same country can be really low.
The changes are horrible news for people who do not have the ability to export goods. I recommend to not to upgrade or build factories at all, despite the sale today (44% less cost on company upgrades). Food and weapons will probably be less profitable than they already are today. My tip here is to sell gold when it is high in price (guessing at about 2300 cc, but I'm hoping for 3000 cc) and build saltpeter mines / cattle farms.
Meanwhile it looks like Plato the bot has been turned off, he is not buying the goods for recommended price. It can be temporary - maybe the admin is waiting for the market to stabilize and that people have time to log in and change their prices before admin turns Plato on again. My suggestion is to sit on your goods and not to sell them too cheaply. (Anybody wants to buy 25000 units of Q2 food? My friend is selling! :- )
I along with others are watching the market closely and as soon as I know anything, more info will be released. Members of Flashback Sweden will have regular updates in this thread.
Update: Are Platos recommended prices slightly wrong? - Problems with selling to Plato?

Toothpaste, it looks like the bot is not off. It has just changed buying price in most countries😮
I sold the normal amount I do during a night, but you have to adjust to the new prices.
@fredrikz
What does "new prices" mean? Is the recommended price with VAT or without? How to add import tax after the changes? Are the recommended prices what Plato will pay at most? Or is it just somewhere in the middle?
Those questions needs to be answered :^)
Whats happening now is probalby the same as always...many players are trying to sell goods fast leading to a drop in prices. The bot follows as before and still buys at 0,30 sek for raw materials. The difference from before is that the bot now actually recommends 0,3. And I doubt gold prices will go as high as 2300, my guess it will at most reach 2000 this evening at around 10am erep time.
The bot always disappears when there is a sale, right?
I think the bot is turned off on purpose. People will make less money and that happens just in time when there is a sale, so more people will become anxious and will buy gold for real money.
