One Million Platinum

[Tecmos Deception]

Back when Sirken was talking about the amount of money some of the banned duperRMT folk had, I asked him how much some of the richest people on the server had to "see if I was one of the 1%ers." Turns out that my bard mule was one of the 1%, being one of the richest 30 unbanned characters (in terms of platinum pieces) on the server at ~550k.

I was kinda surprised that there weren't more characters around with more than that, and I also decided that I wanted to make a million just so that I could have it on my cursor, screenshot it, and then post the picture on the forum for fun.

And here it is:

Now I'm going to spend it because I feel like a retard for having this much platinum sitting around becoming less valuable by the day. Haha :)

[Anderdale]

Donate... I have 6,000 plat

OMG where have you been? I started a thread about you a couple weeks ago!

[Sarius]

Stay tunes for Tecmos's 1 million platinum giveaway!

[Tecmos Deception]

Stay tunes for Tecmos's 1 million platinum giveaway!

Lol. Not bloody likely! My pro bono work on the server consists of running around hitting leveling groups with shissar and group c2!

[Sarius]

Lol, it is very bloody likely! My pro bono work on the server consists of running around hitting leveling groups with shissar and group c2! And occasionally giving away large sums of plat

Tecmos is a hell of a guy!

[Sarius]

Congrats tho for real! It looks like the HS loot factory met its quota this quarter.

[Aaron]

so your the one.....

Welcome back.

[Stinkum]

What are you gonna spend it on?

[Tecmos Deception]

Congrats tho for real! It looks like the HS loot factory met its quota this quarter.

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't on p99 hardly at all for like 2 months there when wow and minecraft caught my attention, but I think since I started playing again 3 weeks ago I've seen 6 fingerbone hoops, plus the usual assortment of sashes and veils and stuff. Love that zone :)

[Tecmos Deception]

What are you gonna spend it on?

I probably won't spend most of it. I definitely will buy a manastone just because (not like I'll use it for much as a chanter). Guess it would help me enchant drumas's adamantite quicker until they change the spell.

[idontbuff]

10 pack fungi

[Sarius]

Can I start using the Bank of Tecmos instead of Freeport Savings and Loans? I heard you have crazy interest rates right now!

[Splorf22]

One would think with 1 million platinum you could afford a bigger, more awesome screenshot!

But yeah, the HS South Loot Factory has been workin overtime, that's for sure!

[SCB]

buy every mid-range and lower cost item for sale in ec. everything. then jack up the prices on all of it by 50-100% and sell it back to the server. single-handedly change the economy to your benefit.

[justin2090]

Buy every CoS from now until the nerf. Oops i said too much.

[Tecmos Deception]

I've been happy (in p99 terms) since I had 0pp!


This thread inspires me to actually learn how to play an enchanter

I think my next endeavor on p99 will be to stream myself playing Tecmos in all sorts of different situations/zones. You should watch!



And @ Ephi - all that GM power, but your agility is still 1 when you are rich? :p

[NegaStoat]

"You are hungry."
"You are thirsty."
"You are out of food and drink."

1 million platinum and you're too damn lazy to wring your boots out for summoned water or pinch a loaf of bread from your pants? What the hell, man.

edit - well done on the achievement, seriously. How about buying a Tinkerer's Bag as a prize in celebration of your achievement for the person who come up with the best Project 1999 / Everquest themed Haiku?

[patrick210]

I remember when I got my 1st mill, and Sirken poped on me to check if it was legit :D

GM Certified

[Tecmos Deception]

FUUUUU. Backspaced a few times and wasn't in the reply window, and I lost what I typed up when I went forward again.

I think I basically said "screw hp regen, mp regen, and stam regen, and doublescrew leveling up to 45 just to click SS armor on my tunnel mule."



I think I will have a little giveaway. But poetry is lame, very lame. Probably going to try to sponsor a lowbie "solo artist challenge"-inspired thing with a few prizes for the kills/stories I like the best.

[oriestes]

Grats :) Now if I had more than 85 plat.. lol

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

Hahaha yeah, you put it in trade with me to show me you had really finally broke 1 million and BAM! Sirken was instantly there staring at you. That gave me a pretty good laugh.

[Masq]

UNCONFIRMED ACCUSATION - DISREGARD

[Messie]

Lol. Not bloody likely! My pro bono work on the server consists of running around hitting leveling groups with shissar and group c2!

i was the one that suggested the snow move in your sig....do i get an art appreciation tip?

[Visual]

Net worth or just excess working capital

how are we reviewing the balance sheet. Fair market value on all tangible assets?

[Langrisser]

i feel nothing (but contempt) for you.

one love.

[mtb tripper]

good job blue

[Tecmos Deception]

excess working capital

This. I didn't sell any of the gear I use on Tecmos or any of my alts to hit 1 million. My bard still has my spare fungi equipped even, although I almost sold it when I was at ~950k just to get it over with, lol.

[Bill Tetley]

dang that was a lot of invis pulling...

[koros]

So all that posting in the forums constructively was just a front for a massive RMT operation?

Brilliant.

[Tecmos Deception]

Nope!


dang that was a lot of invis pulling...

I bet probably 1/3 or fewer of all my pulls in south (since I first started doing south in late January) have been invis pulls. Even before the change, 3 of the 5 nameds in south can't be invis pulled since they're undead and undead trash is left up, and often times I would lull trash mobs and have my pet charmed before the named/ph even popped... so even when it was a living mob I would just tash to pull it.

I ONLY ever killed nameds in east with invis pulls though. Spent enough time in there to kill each named 3-5 times. Invis pulls also were awesome for "fixing" south up after a group came in and spawned living mobs here or there in hallways though. 4-5 of my <10 deaths in south the last few weeks were a direct result of trying to kill a living mob pathing in a hallway in south (and then dying more while trying to lull my way back into the wing to get my corpse) so I could run around the wing more freely with just IVU, and he would have been easily single pulled with invis pulls :)

[Tecmos Deception]

For anyone wondering how I made most of my money, I used gameparse to check all the loot in my logs on Tecmos:

Embalming fluid drops: 27 enshrouded veils, 19 fingerbone hoops, 1 hand of the reaper
Crypt spectre drops: 30 golden bracer, 13 sash of the dragonborn, (blood points)
Crypt feaster drops: 52 god damn fire opals, (blood points), 4 steel hilted flint dagger
Skeleton sepulcher drops: 12 kylong war helm, 6 guardian mace
Spectre spiritualist drops: 15 kylong wrist guards, 9 kylong greaves

Note that these are only logs from my laptop (where I spent probably 90% of my time in south), and some of these numbers might be duplicates cause I don't know if looting an item off of a corpse of mine counts as another drop when gameparse parses, and the blood points were 8 in total (usually from crypt feaster but sometimes from crypt spectre). Crypt feaster also dropped call of the hero once, I think zumaiks once, and a shitty 55+ spell once... and I think it was either the spectre spiritualist or the skeleton sepulcher who dropped a 55+ spell once but I don't remember what it was.

I also had drops from east (a nos, a few helot helms, a couple obtenebrate short swords, buncha crap drops), seb (have done solo farming all over in there, but mostly in crypt where I believe Ive seen 1 hiero cloak and 3 JBB), and a little bit of lguk and solb too. Finally, I spent a small amount of my time doing duo king before invis changes... only enough time to have maybe 3 tunics total for myself.


Just those fingerbone hoop drops from my laptop logs are over 600k, lol!

[iRFNA]

I had a dream I ninja looted a stack of 300 fine steel rapiers that I could trade in for a cannon each. The cannons sold for over 100k pp a pop.

[Tiggles]

TMO is very appreciative of A-Team's hard work in keeping our guild coffers filled.

Every time someone wastes peridots to buff my lvl 15 twink with Naltron's and Rune IV while he is looting up in VP. I say a little Thank you to the hardworking individuals who work so diligently soloing named in Howling stones so they can purchase rots my said lvl 15 twink no longer needs.

[Nab]

Small world, were you the Enchanter we met in Dalnir the other night? :P

[Sgt1stClassPerkerwood]

I fed your ego! Thanks for an awesome reply to me calling you the richest toon on the server :)

[Ciel]

Congratz Tecmos!

[Tecmos Deception]

I fed your ego! Thanks for an awesome reply to me calling you the richest toon on the server :)

I actually liked the screenshot I took where I had the little coin selection window open better, cause it was easier to see how much pp it was. But then I noticed your comments in this screenshot (that I had totally missed when you actually made them) and figured it was fate.

Tecmos Deception in game and on the forums :)

[diplo]

welcome to the 1 million club, we've been waiting for you.

[Era'viss]

Finally, we can say the recession is over.

[Xadion]

lol I am such a poor ass SK, I donate like 10p for ports bc that's usually all I have and I know if this game had SOEmote I would be getting the look.

I have like 1.8k in my mains bank haha

[Vohl]

But poetry is lame, very lame.

By decree of Tecmos, this is lame,
Phat plat is the name of the game,
Still, some cats spend their time,
Busting a out a bad rhyme,
And so I am posting the same.

[Nirgon]

Broke ass human SKs yo

[quido]

I never saw the value in keeping a shitload of plat on hand unless you're saving/holding for something specific, or formerly, if you wanted the ability to jump on an account trade. As a confirmed 1%er, most people are shocked to hear that I generally have less than 50k handy, if not being completely broke. I'd much rather have gear - outside of specific goals, plat doesn't do you any good.

[Tecmos Deception]

I feel the same way (and basically said as much in my first post) :p

[quido]

I hope you spend well =)

[Izor_01]

I had a million plat on live once and I promptly used it all to buy my Mask of tinkering... felt good

congrats BTW

Pretty much the same, although I don't think I qualify as the 1% :D But I'm going to be under 100k again soon!

Been soloing Sgt Slate! :)

[poofph]

Think I could borrow some good gear for a monk I would like to start, fungi etc, will return it all when finished I promise! :)

This.. the right items hold value. Plat's value decreases every second of every day. Invest in items..

Never made sense to me why people would sell off their items before they left so they would have plat for their return. Inflation is a killer in MMOs. I mean, I get why people would want to start selling off items like Trak BPs and items that will decrease in value when Velious comes out. Invest in haste items, regen items, etc. They always hold great value long term. Weapons and armor tend to go down in value over the long term due to higher AC, better stats etc.

just my .02 for whatever it's worth.

[Itap]

10,000,000 would be impressive

[Zyn]

Wow....

[Tecmos Deception]

Wow....

After I watched your stream the other day, it put me over to edge to make me start my own!

[heals4reals]

It's the stupid, economy

[Pringles]

We need a casino IMO so tecmos can gamble away his million.

Or hookers.

[skorge]

I think the most straight up plat I ever had at one time was 900k, dont think I ever hit a million...even when I had 900k I didnt feel like that was alot, always thought alot more people had that much plat, guess I was wrong.

I made most of my plat buying and trading accounts (which it sucks you can no longer do that).

[poofph]

There is no finish to everquest! Nice try though ;)

lol, okay, how about for 2 months then I will return it all! :)
