The World of Warcraft showed it great power as the King of MMO in January. Only the alpha test state of the game upcoming expansion, the Legion, can even have a good impact on RMT market while the same kind of expansion update didn't create any effect at all for other games. The recent release Blade and Soul was launched perfectly with the very fluctuate gold price. Other game in-game currencies prices were mostly lower than December 2015. Let's take a closer look.

ArcheAge Gold

Archeage Gold price had been slightly increased in January. There was around 15% rise in price during the 2-3rd week of the month due to the double experience events from Trion. It’s believed that Archeage Gold price should be even higher in February because of the upcoming patch 2.5 update “Bloodsong” The cheapest Archege gold was on January 28, 2016, which is 2,000 ArcheAge gold for (US) $33.99 and the most expensive was on January 20, 2016, for $38.60. The difference rate was 13.56%.

Blade and Soul Gold

Blade and Soul was finally arrived in NA and EU on January 16, 2016. As expected from the recent release game, Blade and Soul Gold price during the release week was enormously higher than any other weeks. The discrepancy rate was even almost 300% this month. It should take a while until Blade and Soul Gold price to be stable. The cheapest was on January 30, 2016, which is 10 Blade and Soul Gold for $18.87 and the most expensive was on January 22, 2016, for $50.00 The difference rate was as high as 264.97%

Final Fantasy XIV Gil

This is the month to remember for FFXIV Gil. Its sudden 15% drop in the last week of January resulted in the cheapest price ever since its Realm Reborn release back in 2013.

There was a 17% price decrease during January 22-25 from an unknown reason. Although Guild Wars 2 just released its very first 2016 update on January 26, adding several features to the game such as gliding in the Central Tyria, Guild Wars 2 Gold price should not have any impact at all.
