I think that's just it, the prices haven't remained stable, the economy just undergoes constant inflation as the amount of overall money keeps piling up. Meanwhile new characters still begin with nothing and earn gold at the same rate as players did when the game first launched. Compare this with World of Warcraft where they deliberately built in mechanisms to keep destroying money through consumables and bind-on-equip items.
