I know the prices fluctuate for a WP. One beta tester told me they were going for around 250 gil, but I read at places online they were around 1k or more. The price on WP's is supposed to be cheap in the beginning regardless to cater to people who want to be on the same server together quickly. But again, if server picking is possible on the new servers, than this won't be a problem.
