What would Norrath's minimum wage be?

[Glenzig]

Its whatever TMO says it is.

[Ravager]

Minimum wage? Go to Class R with your socialist ideals.

Dude you can /camp in any house you want no charge, and chunks of meat only cost a 5 second fight. You're over-thinking this

I appreciate Iruinedyourday's thoughtful reply to this question. The rest of you are jerks, but that's okay and I still love you all anyway.

Maybe I should split this into two questions:

1. What is the *least amount of plat* you would be willing to accept per hour to stand in EC tunnel next to a fatcat and basically be another set of live bags for them? (Closest thing I can compare to unskilled labor working for a big corporation). Surely, these answers will differ depending on the player and their status.

2. What do you think a unified Norrathian government would establish this hourly rate to be? (minimum wage is not what you would accept, rather what establishment says you can/will accept)

There are no right or wrong answers... just good and bad ones.

1. I only have a couple hours per day (max) to have fun on EQ. Standing around EC doesn't strike me as worthwhile fun, even if I were selling a dozen Fungis in an afternoon and getting 100% of the profits. I'd rather be out and about bashing newbie stuff, even if I was getting less than 10p/hour.

TLDR: EQ isn't a job.

2. Unified Norrath government? Minimum would be slaves and if you don't like it, they find your spawn site and train you there until you die back to level 1.

1) To actively be sitting there in EC, for me personally 1.5k per hour, to sit there sorta paying attention, 250pp and if you have to text call me to get me to respond, 100pp.

2) 25pp, I am not some noob that never played EQ before, I know what i can make per hour so I would never accept this amount per hour. (kinda like real life)
