Life of a Chinese Gold Farmer

[calzephyr]

I saw this article about gold farming on Slashdot this morning, excellent reading.

In other gaming news, we're trying to get Tom Nook to upgrade to a Nookington's, which I think should have happened by now - he's been the Nookway forever. It means lots of raffle tix for June anyway :-) Both of us started second houses and mine is really shaping up (going for the lovely/regal look until the sets are complete). I'm just a couple of pieces away from completing the classic/ranch sets, and I'm putting a kitchen/cabin set in the basement, but I need my second house to have a basement first. It's really pathetic when your virtual basement looks a lot like the real one :-D

that's a fascinating article. I still have yet to play WoW myself, waiting till I get a new PC.

Which version of Animal Crossing you playing? On the DS I don't think I can buy a second house.

I'm scared to start playing WoW in that it will be too addictive. At least when a regular CRPG isn't infinite :-) I don't think my PC would be fast enough either.

We're playing the old skool version on the Game Cube. Can you just start a new character? That's what we did :-) I would get a DS solely for Animal Crossing Wild World. It looks like they improved a lot :-)

No, all the characters share the same house. :( But at least we all contribute to the mortgage together. Indentured servitude, paying a mortgage, drinking coffee, accident insurance, and a menial job picking fruit, it's just like real life! :-P

Oh cool :-D I didn't realize that!

LOL, the simplicity of Animal Crossing always amuses me. It's the perfect economy!!
