funny thing is that tonight there was only 8 million stone one the market and the price was nice, i made huge amounts of gold selling at 1.2, iron and wood are still at give-away prices, im buying up to see if market flips and i can sell and make some profit. thi is the only fun in io right now, learning to trade and work the market.
When you see stone or even better wood more expensive than iron (and that's very often the case) than you can freely think of IO like this

Players build forts so they can put army in it. Saving the gold/paying upkeep is the ONLY name of the game
. And to be honest i'm forced to be one of the farmers.
Building forts is No1 job/priority to me. You don't want to know what is my upkeep WITH army in forts
By the way, don't hope iron price would get too much higher. As a mater of fact i bough iron for 0.25 today - don't need it but what to say, i'm greedy
Maybe temporarily because players collect A LOT of gold during holiday mode iron price would jump but things would level out very soon.
