How Much Money Could You Have Made Playing FFXI?

Sorry, maybe its just the emo ppl on Carbuncle that are always bitching about their lack of income and medical problems or broken home problems. What SE needs to do is have a Psychologist NPC in all the zones. :P Those are the ppl I was referring to, but chances are none of them are reading this. :/ Why is that? A) Nobody on who wanted to or B) JP players refusing to play with non-JP. Sounds like any other server really. Only difference is Asura has a lot more drama.

On topic, I think my answer would be 'too much.' He was referring to me, apparently the Admin on this site came up w/ some "genius" thought of putting a banned logo on top of user's avatar pics...when they did indeed get banned. I'll switch it back later so you can see what I'm talking about. Edit: Money does buy happiness, but playing this game and going to jail, pwning nubs, and pissing/stressing ppl off is also fun. ^.^ Oh yeah they added taht awhile ago. So wait you got banned or no?
Ramuh.Dasva said: Oh yeah they added taht awhile ago. So wait you got banned or no? Lol, not yet. I've been to GM-jail about 9 times, had a 3-day banning once, and I've talked ***on these threads but I usually just get blocked from a certain post and then they remove my comments of rape. As for being banned, I'm sure its just a matter of time, but again, this is just for entertainment purposes, so meh... Ramuh.Dasva said: Hades.Stefanos said: Oh wow, wonder what the dude did to get banned, lol. On topic, I think my answer would be 'too much.' Mikehoncho's avatar had a banned thing on it, now it's changed. I guess it was part of the avi, lol. Carbuncle.Mikehoncho said: Ramuh.Dasva said: Oh yeah they added taht awhile ago.

I know this isn't exactly what the thread is about, but I recently had my character appraised and it could sell (On eBay or wherever) for roughly 1500 dollars. I may yet make money playing FFXI, lol.

Curious how much mine would go for
go to egamingsupply.com and look how much other people are asking for theirs and make an educated guess
you make more money stripping account most of the time, so figure out how much actual gil you have and do $20-25/mil accounts with little impressive rare/ex gear dont go for much I would say prices have gone down even moreso with the coming FFXIV hype, but I havent checked in a while
Yeah I mostly just have alot of expensive ish buyable stuff and some nice ra/ex
1046 days 13 hours 8.75 a hour here = 219,773,75
I don't see how this is a good comparison though because playing FFXI is fun and enjoyable, work is....work.
$223,900
$20/hr min wage~ 466 days Bahamut.Rienea said: $20/hr min wage~ Bahamut.Rienea said: $223,900 $20/hr min wage~ 466 days Siren.Enternius said: I know this isn't exactly what the thread is about, but I recently had my character appraised and it could sell (On eBay or wherever) for roughly 1500 dollars.

Min. wage is $15 $99,405 a year.. xD Gilgamesh.Shayala said: Bahamut.Rienea said: $223,900 $20/hr min wage~ 466 days Minimum wage in Norway converted to USD $14
784 days online, alot afk, but i'll calculate for ***and giggles. 14x24x784=$263.424 With what I make at my job my paycheck says $20.75/hr, so ugh.. $390.432 But remember Norway is a very expencive country to live in so it all evens out in the amount of stuff you get for your money, so. However, to "justify" this, like others have said, you can't buy fun, friends other other things ffxi has given me, and if I worked for the amount of hours I calculated for above I'd be burned out everyday from work, leaving me with even less time to do things I wanted to do. Did you guys factor in the 40-hour workweek limit? Or the whole sleeping at night thing? Or the fact that most jobs give really crappy hours? >.>
My playtime is about 784 days (some of that afk, asleep and at work but I'll go with that). 784 days = 18816 hours. Minimum wage here in Australia I think is $14.31 per hour. So I would have made $269256.96 lol
Using the OP's formula, [at 7.25] I would've made $136,068.
Yeah, needless to say, I'm not as much of an MMO junkie as I used to be. (I don't even play anymore, so don't ask me why I'm even on this site, 'cause I don't have an answer.) I like the idea of this whole working out money thing but don't take it seriously like thats money you could have made/lossed out on. I'm pretty sure everyone plays ffxi out of work hours.
If you came home from work to do more work, then ALSO worked on the weekends, i'm pretty sure you'd die. I have it on good authority thats what actually happens. And money does buy happiness. Not having money makes me unhappy :( Funny Thread !
Let's see how much money could i have made ... so after converted € by $ and with my actual wage ~ 255x24 >> 6120 Hours 6120x17$ ~ 104040$ Oh that's insane ... going to work more ;_; Asura.Artemicion said: Before people come to the realization that FFXI = FML, I'd like to point out 2 things: 1) Money can't buy happiness, at least so they say. 2) The times you had, the fun adventures and company you had doing them over the years = priceless Agreed. However... *does calculations* Wow, how sad. Not going to post that. lol |
