Individual Wealth
 
What's considered "wealthy" on this server? is 100k the threshold? If i can take a stab at it, I would want to say:

< 30k = lower class
50-60k = middle class
70-100k = upper middle class
100k+ = rich
250k-500k = filthy rich
1million+ = obsurd

any other input/ideas?

Is this about PP, $, or Yuan?

Ele 07-11-2011 04:23 PM

Are you talking about pure PP, PP + tradeable items, or whole character valuation with no drops?

Most single high end items are 100k or so, I'd say more like 500k+ would be rich. Being able to buy a single fungi tunic if you liquidate your entire account is not really rich IMO.

Young economist. He's spot on, tbh. Rich means you can buy what you want when you want it.

i'd want to say total assets (discluding non-drop items)

< 10k: poverty, eating out of trash cans, homeless
10k-30k: lower class, eat at mcdonalds a lot, probably overweight
30k-100k: middle class, you and me, the up and coming with upwards mobility at our fingertips
100k-500k: upper middle: yeah I could buy a lambo, yeah it would cost me several years of savings
500k-1mil: rich
1mil +: fuck you dude get a life

i think trying to put an arbitrary structure on the definition of wealth is quite patently obsurd

well in context, i would put buying a fungi in relation to a private jet irl. yea i can buy a jet and it's going to hurt my pocket, but i can also afford 95% of other items on this server that wouldn't damage my wealth at all. Thats why I believe, 100k+ is still pretty rich.
