WoW

Road to 5 Million (for the Ultra Casual) – 13

Well, despite the fact that I think I only logged into WoW twice this week, I did manage to break 2 million gold. I’ve been there before, just before BFA released, but that’s back when I was actually playing – and these days I’m so casual I wonder if it can even be called active.

Blizzard is giving a free weekend this weekend to anyone who doesn’t have an active paid subscription, so I’m hoping to get some good sales from folks logging in. It’s also fashion week, so that usually bodes well for transmogs. I’m thinking of leveling up my druid to 120 (she’s 111 at the moment) because why not, and it has been ages since I did any sort of farming, so I may give that a shot too. As always I have a love hate relationship with WoW. BFA hasn’t been the best of expansions for me and a lot of my friends are no longer playing. I keep it on the back burner and will probably always have a soft spot for the game.

Ultra Casual Road to 5 Million Gold – Update 11

I actually had a nice amount of sales last week, but I also ended up buying a whole bunch of gear for my monk so she could queue for raids, so the gain isn’t nearly as nice as it could have been had I not spent that gold, but that’s OK. For the first time in a while it’s just nice to see almost 100k gain. I’m still on track for making 5 million gold this year, but as you can see by the chart it will catch up by May if I keep making smaller sales like I have been.

Honestly, as long as I keep moving upward, it’s not a big deal. I’ve been paying for my subscription with gold, I’m able to transfer characters, and just generally have fun. I had high hopes of buying a bunch of WoW merchandise with my gold, but the blizzard store doesn’t let you (which is fine, just something I wish were different).

Goal for next week is to get closer to breaking 2 million gold. I’ve been there in the past but I ended up spending it all on subscriptions and that was pre-BFA. I find the market post-BFA a lot more difficult to handle.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

Beautiful

My new 2080 video card is nothing short of amazing compared to the old 760 I was using, and I have (so far) absolutely zero complaints. The crashes and video driver errors that previously plagued me are all solved, and aside from some issues like WoW not showing initially after I upgraded the card (I needed to delete a configuration file from my WTF folder, then it worked fine) it has been smooth sailing. Here’s hoping it stays that way.

Last night I spent quite a bit of time just driving around in Euro Truck Sim 2 – it felt so good to get back to playing that game, and now it looks even more incredible.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Road to 5 Million – Update

Even though I’ve been taking an ultra lazy casual approach with World of Warcraft these days (I just haven’t been feeling BFA at all so far) I AM still ahead of my goal in order to reach 5 million gold in 365 days. By now I should have approximately 714,000 – and I’m closing in on 2 million. Certainly not complaints about that!
