Gold prices are just like real life gold prices. When there is no gold, prices are skyhigh, cus there is still a demand. When there is lots of gold, prices will drop since everyone wanting gold, already haz it. Predicting the future in any way is, as you may know, impossible. As many of the people around the forums already know, we had a small incident with the "chinese" people moving in on our turf. The socalled "Black Temple issue" - which made the gold prices drop for everyone. The reason im bringing this up is just to illustrate how fragile a market we are in on and also to let your imagination have some free space. Lets say the Black Temple issue wasnt about making money here and now, but to stack it up for the WoD release. It probably wasnt, but who knows? As others have already mentioned, the price for gold will rocketlaunch toward the sky just after a new release and then slowly fizzle out and go back to normal. The best advice to give, is stack up as much gold as you can while still covering your expenses. Don't sell all your gold cus you really want a new video game or a new playstation or a new car (depending what scale you are selling gold at) - sell the gold to cover your expenses, save the rest, hope for the best when the expansion comes out and maybe you will be able to make a really nice profit for the first couple of weeks. Good luck to us all.
