All of these involve having some non-trivial initial capital. Which you will probably need to work for "someone" to get. | |||

The best way to stack plat i've ever found is finding a niche that you don't mind grinding and then set to work. Slow and steady is often better for solo plat farming than the big pay off camps.
HoT clears, or WToV pickup raids have always been a favorite for me. Go for plate bracers, or other items like that. Sell in a day or less for 10k a pop, sometimes you can also snag a chest or legs that will net ya like 50k. some other solo style ideas 1.VP key piece farming, especially PS 2. IG farming - plat and toes are needed for wort pots 3. farming mats for or making consumables people use to raid 4. Gem farming in velks or sebilis 5. be an enchanter Other than that, getting a small farm crew of 2-3 other people that also have a a few solid classes at 60 is your best route. Then you can do things like fungi kind and when a tunic drops you just split the plat 3 ways or something like that. At this point you can even start to think of things like lodi. Pooling gains with a small group will get you up and going till you have enough plat on your own to then also play the market buying low and selling high. Plus, playing the game with people, especially a smaller group where you all have a vested interest really makes the whole thing 100x more enjoyable. I would advise against becoming a netflix champion while killing PS placeholder every 6 mins or whatever it is

In EQ, you also have to work to get a start on something. Level your toon, farm those gems and crafting supplies, camp those mobs and MQ's, port people, and flip those items in EC. It all will take time and effort, though. This is a game that generally rewards time played and efforts made, and it's a fact that won't change. So, yes, it will be exponentially harder for someone to be plat wealthy if they play 4 hours a week vs 24. And if you make a new alt and 'twink' it every time you get 1,000 plat in the bank, then re-evaluate your spending choices if your goal is to be plat wealthy. The #1 way to make more money for anyone new to the server is just to level to 60 first. Plain and simple. It simply opens more cash making opportunities. From there your profitability varies depending on your class. As an example, Enchanters are strong level 60 solo toons due to their ability to move through dungeons and pick off camps. But in the meantime, be entrepreneurial while leveling, too. If you're killing bears and wolves for the next 5 levels, post an ad on the forums stating so and see if you can match up with someone that is currently leveling their craft and can use the pelts you get. If they pay you more than the vendor, you're already up money and experience! Make like-minded friends along the way, too. The right friends are usually key to your success as well. In game and out. | |||

If your goal is to have tens to hundreds of millions of dollar in your lifetime, you need to be starting businesses or doing leveraged investing of some sort. These are high risk, high reward ventures.
If you just want a few million dollars, its very viable to just study something where you can get paid 100k+ per year and invest 25-30% of your earnings. You will probably end up in the mid single digit millions net worth, and depending on how you choose to handle your retirement, you have the option of your grandchildren attempting to step into a really wealthy tier off your inheritance.

Absolutely, businesses fail. There's always risk. I can use my own experience as an example. I learned about that risk pretty hard at about 20 when I had a landscaping/snow removal company and my (older) business partner ran off with the equipment leaving me to foot the bills because I naively put it all in my name. But, I've come back from that (with the luxury of time) and started over and now have reached a level of success that 20 year old me could have never imagined. If you're afraid to fail, can't take criticism, or don't have a high drive ambition to have real control of your time, what you describe is a great way to build wealth over a lifetime. But slow and steady doesn't always win you the race. True wealth, in my opinion, is health and control of your time. Money is just the means. Having the means to retire and only pay property taxes and maintenance on your home/homes before 40 while being in control of what you choose to do most days is wealthy/rich to me. Retiring with ~1 million or so in your 401k and retirement account at 65 after working for 35+ years for someone else that dictates my schedule is not. At that point they've taken more from you than you received and that seems like a terrible deal to me. We also don't live in an economy anymore where people really stay at jobs for 5+ years let alone 30+ as was more common in the boomer generation. Either by their choice or their employers, it's just the reality of it. | |||
