Its unreal, people just dont believe you can take time off from working, The daunting prospect of going back to a normal rep's job is sickening me!

urrgh

Be warned it takes a while to level 60-70.

Just by grinding anf doing quests 60-70 I made about 2k from vendor drops and selling all the loot. If your skint just do questing and normal leveling. Money drops alot better

Righto, better dust off my character on Silvermoon, "Bain", 42 Night elf Hunter.

Had taken some time off from WOW.

pfff, reading all these posts makes me want to get back into it. I used to play Half life CS when I first started playing poker, kept me away from the tables in the loss making days.
My mate is making about £100/day on Eve. Every conversation with him is a humming fridge babble of 'LSK ship region clan blah blah ebay 8 billion guns upgrades battleships trillions blah blah'. Some people employ teams of dozens just to go around building up ships and selling them off for thousands...

Ah, CS, been playing that since 2000 when the 7.1 version was released before it got a retail release, 1.6 has to be my fave in comparison to CS:Source, although the physics are damn fun.


Fave maps, De_Vegas and Cs_Thunder, ah, they take me back.

I ended up being quite useful with the Krieg and MP5.

Played in a couple of clans, [EEV] being the best and getting quite igh in ED league.

Sorry, did I misread that... how does one make money playing Half Life?

[Royal Flush]

I used to make money playing Diablo online.

I used to make money playing Diablo online.

lol. For me, at the time, gaming was as good as poker...exciting, and direct competition against other people, filled the same hole.
I don't think you can make money directly from half life CS unless you're in a pro clan.
I was a big de_dust fan, and yes, I did camp on crates and snipe.

Was an avid Quake gamer for a few years from the original through to 3, never played 4 so no idea what that was like.
Played in a few leagues was excellent fun.
Any other Quake players?

Quake II was superb, well ahead of its time, without having to rely on super-realistic graphics. Atmospheric levels, great baddies (big angry fat guy with chainsaw), great weapons for multiplayer. Mods were great, I used to grapple hook myself to the ceiling and just pipe bomb any passerby.

Righto, you can make real cash from MMORPG's like EVE, WOW, EQ2, etc, by selling in game items and currency to people.  There are online sites that only sell WOW Gold, characters and items for some good money and the economy of the virtual world of Everquest 2 actually is greater than some real countries.

Now, games like UT, CS and Quake provide the oppotunity to make cash in a couple of ways.  1, Become a PRO, this is where the serious money is made, the top English team is 4Kings and Jonathan Wendell has made a nice living by being probaly the top FPS gamer.  2, There are some sites that allow you to wager on a game, if you feel you can beat the other guy, put your money where your mouth is.  3, Some other sites pay by the "Frag" (Kill) on certain games and servers.
