Even so I can't say that I'm short of money. But I don't buy things such as the Kirin Tor ring or a mega big mammoth... Don't feel the need either.<br /><br />@Zektha Chan: yeah, I noticed. I hope he'll find a guild. I'll really miss him as a blogger if he quits.<br /><br />@Fitz: I don't think he'd be that bad off in a hardcore raiding guilds.

This mindset and his anti-social views on Azeroth will likely never allow him to enjoy the game the same way most of us do. <br /><br />Here's a thought...can you imagine Gevlon being the bank power behind ensidia? Probably too powerful of a guild, but I think he would definitely be challenged by such a top-end Euro guild.Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822446969197409741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-91161748642001860272009-04-28T16:51:00.000+02:002009-04-28T16:51:00.000+02:00News,

Seriously, if Gevlon even returns, I expect him to do some other kind of experimenting... If he returns... I'm not all sure about that.<br />And yes, MD are awesome! Check out some more of their stuff... God Knows is a quite old tune, but they played it at the concert in a bit different shape. The audience sang along all the way...<br /><br />@Kiyn: 40 k g and five epic flying mounts... omg... You're obviously running a factory there... A miniature Gevlon.<br /><br />@Green Armadillo: honestly, if someone stole the account and I couldn't recover Larísa I don't think I'd buy a new character. I think it would mean the end of my WoW playing adventure. But I think you're right about that many players are focusing too much on the material side. It IS just pixels. The epic memories, which is what we bring with us when we leave Azeroth, is something else.<br /><br />@Daniel: if you focus all of your online time on running a glyph- and bagfactory and playing AH I think it's quite doable, as Gevlon has showed. But is it fun? Maybe to others, but not to me. I'd grow bored instantly. Thats why I haven't got half as much money as you have...<br /><br />@Gnomeaggedon: oh you're absolutely right. Sometimes the most epic experiences are the ones that won't impress on anyone else. So what? You know. And you have those memories under your shirt, just like I had the drumstick...<br /><br />@Klepsacovic: it's an interesting thought, but considering the gold sellers... no thank's... Maybe at special servers then for people who are PvP minded and like to screw up things for other players...<br /><br />@Zekta Chan: well, if he leaves blogging he's always welcome to throw out his thoughts in this blog as a commenter.

One idea was to hire people to guard valuable areas, such as quest hubs, rare resources, that sort of thing; while the other leader might pay to recapture it.<br /><br />With enough gold I think you could buy some pretty epic memories, such as every member of one faction taking complete control of an enemy city for days or weeks.<br /><br />Or declare that you've won and quit.

There's ...I think you've got the right philosophy. There's an interesting interview link up on Massively with the company that's serving as SOE's brokerage for player to player character/item/gold sales in EQ2 and Vanguard. Like it or not, and I don't really, that model is probably going to become the dominant one simply because there's money in it for the publishers. <br /><br />Perhaps it's not all bad. If your account were stolen and unrecoverable, wouldn't you at least consider buying a new mage, if that were an option, so that you could keep playing with the guild that you love instead of spending the next few months leveling one solo and running PUG's to get enough gear that you won't be holding your friends back? <br /><br />However, the consequence of that kind of a model is that the experiences that you've had playing Larisa become more valuable than Larisa herself. Someone else could obtain the character, like your drum stick, but they would never be able to get your memories and experiences getting her where she is today. Likewise, I don't have my beta Death Knight anymore, since the servers were wiped, but I have the memory (and the blogposts) of the experiences I had playing her. <br /><br />Perhaps we focus too much on the material side of our digital lives?Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-59411600509247925772009-04-28T02:50:00.000+02:002009-04-28T02:50:00.000+02:00I've never gotten above 40k gold myself, because I...I've never gotten above 40k gold myself, because I can't STAND to fly at regular speed and all of my many, many alts must have epic flying.
