Someone -coughpaulcough- deflated the market a few weeks back when people were stocking up. They went down to about 300k a pop... @_@
Paul didn't singlehandedly ruin the market in Khaini. The server is just full of idiots who are currently obsessing over KoC. Once they're all done with their fun on those characters, which may take upwards of a month, attention will turn to Maker. I mean, seriously, I have a friend who has a Lv. 90 Dawn Warrior already (he hit 200 on his Drk in February), and hasn't bothered getting Maker yet. It's the same story with pretty much 98% of my high leveled friends - they all want to play KoC, and will touch Maker later.
FYI, I think this is the case in all servers. Just take a look at the General MapleStory sections on the two most popular GMS forums, SW and Basil. They're TEEMING with threads regarding KoC, whereas the General MS section here is pretty split. People just haven't deal with it yet or really don't even know it's there.
Fact: When young teenagers log in and see some half-naked anime goddess telling them to help her and showing them their character playing one of 5 different classes with cool looking skills, temptation and excitement build. Ask the kid if they want to go create one of those awesome characters immediately, and you've just seen the online version of "Free Candy" unmarked vans. They're too stupid to know otherwise, and once their bored being "kidnapped" by KoC, they'll go be lemming children into Maker.
