I've always wanted to retire and play an MMO for the rest of my days, but that was back when WoW was still new and amazing. idk what I'd do now.

>>19135717
That's probably enough money to live off of for a year, wouldn't be very comfortable.

WoW gets boring after like 20 days play time though. Not enough to do.

>>19135717
You can already make $5-$20/day playing a lot of cryptogames. That's enough to pay the bills while being a full time gamer. Check out Kingdomsbeyond as an example, though it's still in alpha.

>>19136057
bro u can teach me. Im no job atm

>>19136057
can you elaborate on cryptogames

>>19136057
>>19136395
Yeah anon I'm curious how do they work?

>>19135717
Just mine and sell gold in wow.

>>19135717
MMOs are a dead genre.

I always dreamed of getting rich and spending the rest of my life traveling around the world to exotic locations only to spend my time holed up in my fancy AirBnB playing some treadmill MMO.

Why the fuck would you travel to places just to sit inside and play vidya? It'd make far more sense just to stay home where you can attain peak comfy.

>>19135717
There are worse hells than having your daily existence depend on the fuckwads at Blizzard, but jesus christ, why not just eat a bottle of poison? It would probably be more fun.

Ok Greymane

Nostalrius ruined classic wow.

Everyone had a guild going into classic so there was no new relationships. Also min/maxing ruins the experience. If there was a way to mix up the mechanics/needed resistances that would save wow

>>19135717
no, not even close. even a stack 10 times that is probably only going to run you a couple (1-2) mil

>>19138592
>>19135934
these guys are low iq, feel free to ignore their investment advice. your stack is very solid, esaily a million in 3 years. it's enough for a wow life (start selling little by little once it hits $1m), but how the fuck would you not get bored.

>>19135717
>32 ETH
This is a meme that mETH heads started

>>19138797
that is, start selling the BTC. only sell the ETH that you get by staking the 32.

>>19135815
this

>>19136057
>5$-20$ a day

That's what I'm earning of my Lition stake atm. Unironically playing wow classic, hoping to completely live of my dividends within 2 years.

Seethe harder, you had 2 years to accumulate cheap ETH.

>>19135717
I was excited for classic relaunch and pretty quickly got to 60. Then we cleared all of MC in a pug with like 30 people - 6 or 7 of which were lvl 58-59. Everyone in trash gear. Logged out after the raid and canceled the subscription. It really was just nostalgia after all. The magic is gone and will never return. Stop chasing the dragon and you will be happier.

Serious question,
what comes after World Of Warcraft in vidya?
Ever since WoW came out no other game seemingly had that immersion factor. No other game on earth probably has more playtime per unique player and playtime in total than WoW accumulated over the years.
But what could succeed WoW?
VR unfortunately is still in its early stages and it seems like we're decades away from something even remotely close to Ready Player One.

>>19138988
Anyone that will play something other than WoW has left a long time ago.

Anyone that is still playing WoW will probably keep playing until the inevitable WoW2.0.

>>19138988
My dream is that once VR gets really good we will see a sequel (or spiritual successor) to WoW that requires all real-motion inputs. The physical exertion will mean you can't play for extended periods of time because it will actually be physically demanding. Imagine grouping up with all of your buddies to slay dragons and you all end up getting in shape while doing it. The best groups would be people that were actually in shape and fat slobbish neckbeards would actually be at a huge disadvantage. It would moderate the amount of time people play, but also encourage fitness.

>>19139433
It would have to be fun enough to demand that much physical work. I'd be down if it were damn good.

jokes aside tho, i've been playing VR since 2017, first vive now index, so it was always room scale.
room scale is fun for a while but once you realize the limits (you always know you need to pay attention not to hit a wall etc.), it's not any better for immersion than sitting play. the game i played the most is no man's sky with it's extremely flaw'd VR that's less worked out than that of free indie games, even the hud doesn't turn with you you need to constantly adjust your view with the joystick. regardless you see nothing but the world and can get immersed if you want to. i bet you the most successful VR games will offer sitting play just because it's more convenient once the novelty of room scale wares off.
even hardcore VRChat players with literal full body tracking will use a chair and use 3rd party software that maps their sitting movements as if they were standing.

copper bar stacks go for 12 gold in some servers - you can average over 4k SOS per day easily

Impressive desu

>>19139937
honestly that dude is badass af, gives less fucks than fucking base jumpers

>>19138827
This 32 bs is made up, show me where it says 32. Its what mETH heads expect. mETH heads are delusional.
>you had 2 years to accumulate cheap ETH
Bitch I didn't buy at ICO
Inb4 OMG or some shit
sweetie lots of scams & crypto was totally unregulated. ETH was one of the scammiest.

I'm wrong, sorry.
Still not purchasing as PoS is trash.

>>19139874
smart people would be moving their IRL bodies with controllers while laying in a bed if they could.

>>19140041
pow didn't account for competing chains correctly. bitcoin WILL switch to PoS eventually.

>>19135815
This. Back in 07 I always imagined if I made it I would just get a nice big house with a pool and play MMO's all day. I would work out still and hire a personal trainer for 4 days a week. On the weekends I would go HAM and drink/get girls.

I have to say I don't think too much would change other than I would probably be playing some type of FPS. Also, I know the value of managing wealth so I would probably care for my investments more.

>>19138988
imo only Star Citizen or Dual Universe have a chance to succeed if they get their priorities straight.

>>19140641
>10 years in development, hundreds of millions spent, still no playable (enjoyable) product
well, if that game does work out somehow, it will set a precedent and will reform the gaming/development industry.
but for now, it will likely just stay in pre-alpha for eternity

>>19140641
>Star Citizen

Basically a shitcoin scam at this point.

>>19140699
Which game is it that you're talking about?
SC or DU?
Sorry, I am not very familiar with both.

>>19140737
SC

>WoW neet
like the guy who started eBay?

>>19135717
>Is 32 ETH and 1 BTC enough to be a WoW neet
Have 45 ETH, 1.85 BTC and 1 BTC worth of altcoins... comfy...

>>19135717
I did this for about a year during college. It gets old after a while (playing WoW all day, not being neet)
>>19138492
I joined one of the servers that launched two weeks or so after Classic launched, and so I got to experience the new relationships part. It was really fun - getting lost in Wailing Caverns with people who mostly had no idea what they were doing. I quit right as I got to the point where I was ready to start raiding because I could tell the fun was nearly over, and that turned out to be doubly true because the honor system launched the week after and that turned into a huge shitshow.

imagine still thinking star citizen isn't just a scam

>>19141153
Same here. Had a ton of fun at launch but quite when I got to 52 and realized I wouldn't hit 60 before the honor system. Knew I was just going to get camped 24/7. Kind of feel like subbing again and starting a new character though.
