Default How much total net worth on blue P99 is "rich" ?

Blue server only.
What is, in your opinion, the approximate minimum amount of total wealth expressed in platinum, that makes someone "rich" in your eyes ?

Items, sellable MQs all count. Things like having full PoM armor don't since they aren't resellable.

Friends that have fun and can help each other get what they want.

Securing the means of production is what ensures wealth.

I was talking to a guildie about this the other week. I think it all just grows in scale with your time on the server. As you get closer to 60, get into raiding, and spend a couple years here your view on plat shifts alot ultimately bottoming out.

On your way to 60 (the first time) it's likely a player will be happy with any coin they naturally get while xping and exploring norrath and would be ecstatic to snipe the roll on a 1k item. But then upon hitting 60 and gaining access to better cash camps, the scale shifts. Suddenly you win a fungi tunic and dont care about winning that 500p spell off a reaver and might even opt to not "waste" your roll on it.

Later on, you start eyeing expensive upgrades for your main because you're raiding so you start intentionally farming plat. Next thing you know you're farming fungis / juggs / BM consistantly and start pulling in some real cash and you opt to not bother with any camp that doesn't have a significant drop to win (probably 20k and up) and giving a newbie player or tipping a DaP porter with a 500-1k item is no big deal because it was too much bag space anyway.

After that I think most people will either decide to embrace plat fully and start joining farm crews, doing coldain rings, etc to shoot for their millions or their interest in plat will dive bomb into indifference because dkp is the valuable currency now because plat cant buy you the highest end items in the game.


Edit: I routinely get runed morning stars (an item i was infatuated with when I was new here) and I will use them a porting tips or selling them to new players for about 20% of the price passing through ec just so I can buy another stack of dots slightly more conveinatly and was just funny how a couple years ago, I was willing to sell my soul for one of those things but now, I would hand it to an orc pawn in west Freeport just to nose exhale at the sight.

0-10k = kid / high school student with part time job
10k - 50k = graduated high school (or college with liberal arts degree) and just bought your first car. You have a shitty apartment
50k-200k = have a car, have a decent place to live at, got your shit together
200k-500k = Have nice car, maybe you put a down payment on a house and you can be regarded as a productive member of society
500k-2M = Approximately 6 figure income
2M-10M = upper middle class, after keeping at it a few years you can buy a new Mercedes or other "nicer" car. You own at least one house.
10M+ = What counts as "rich"

In your world, people who don't have a 6 figure income but paid off their mortgage are outlandish. Bwahah

your average raider has 100-300k.

Its the really old losers, shitheads, and scammers that have been on the server 8 years that have 1 mil +

Having 3m+ will make you "rich"

Knowing the right people will make you "wealthy"
