so nordenwatch got a one month's worth of a car payment from years of p99. sounds like a good investment there
That's what always makes me laugh about these RMT players who say they made a few grand cashing out.

It amounts to Pennies an hour when you combine all the time you sat haggling in the tunnels.

I bet Nordenwatch cashed out his 10M pp for something like $20,000. If he had 100 days of playing time, that works out to $8 per hour if I am doing my math correctly. That's a McDonald's level wage, but it isn't pennies.

He ripped off someone something fierce then if you think he got 20k the buyers are the ones taking the risk and there's really only 2 games in town that would buy that much upfront.

Even if he did he made minimum wage for 3 years seems great.

Likely he made half that and he wants to hang himself because he's an addict for ec tunnel.

I have a feeling it came out to between $2 or $4 per hour.

This blows my mind. Who the hell has this kind of cash that they would be willing to throw away at an emulated game?

Not a bad way to make 8 dollars an hour

I worked at blockbuster making more or less that and I was wishing I was playing EQ every hour

Hourly calculations are not worth doing. The time I spent playing EQ I enjoyed, it was definitely not "work" in any sense.
