Well the upside to being a soloer (sometimes 2 boxer) is you get rich as far as plat goes. I have over 2 million.

The downside is you never get the truely uber loot from raids.

at the present, I have around 14.7 million banked. I have another 4 million in items.

ironically, except for a low level necro alt I play on occasionally.. I'm effectively retired, until at least june or so.

I usually feel poor if I'm under 100k but I went on a little buying spree recently and am down to 70k in plat and maybe another 30k or so in sellables. Just over the 100k wire for this poll but it seems harder and harder to sell things these days unless it's the highest end material.

4 accoutns total, with 500kplus on 3 of them, and about 1k on the other but i still never have pearls for CoH....lol

i have a bit of money in the bank =)

Hate farming but i do try and keep 100k in the bank at all times. Once i hit 150k or so i gear up alts etc til i am down to about 100k or so. Stupidest thing I do is buy spells at bazaar price instead of farming them.

add another 100k or so in trader satchels at all times.

oops, missed the '+ approximate value of any items ..' bit.

Time to file an ammended vote.

50k to 100k was my answer, but that's all my characters on a single server.

Across all the servers I play on I have around 150kpp

/em darts into Main Bank in Plane of Knowledge, wanting that Cloak of Flames with it's higher haste than her gloves.

Right click the damned Banker, Ceridian.

Banker Ceridian says, "Welcome to my bank Kutaria!"

/em stares, jaw dropping, at her cursed bank.

/em double-takes. "WHAT?!"

99 platinum
9 gold
7 silver
9 copper

/em glances around a moment before wondering what happened.

/em finally figures it out, and begins beating her head on the Bank's counter. Two Guardians have to drag her to the nearest Tavern, kicking, screaming, and crying her eyes out.

/em quits kicking after a minute. Screaming after two. And crying after ten bottles of Mead, as well as ceasing to speak coherently for a while.

/em swears a blue streak up and down, rationally speaking, "I only spent 100 plat on that Groaning Mace, 250 on the Spined Seahorse Bracelet, the Tunarean arm and wrist were a deal for 200, and that Bracelet of Sense was 500. How could I have lost ten THOUSAND platinum in a day?!"

(Bar owner neglects to mention that she'd been drinking her successful Bazaar purchases away for the past eighteen days..)

So, that's my life story.
/em nods, then decides to go farm Echo Caverns again...

Have about 10K in the bank, been as high as 250K but went on a massive upgrade for my cleric and Warrior. Now the items I bought are running at 50% less than 4 months ago. Tradeskills chewed up alot too. Smithing taking about 100K so far and only in the low 200s (even with Uber shammy buffs). Snuck in a horse too. Great for running around and whoring mana for Conviction and such, but I still sit on my butt while grouping. I like to be able to duck out of a spell if needed instead of moving and waiting for the interuption.

I had to check off the 5k to 50k, but rarely do I get over the 10k mark before I have to spend it all on a spell or some other needed object (usually I get to 10k - find the spell I need and have to scrounge up another 5k - 10k to actually purchase it).

For the time I've played and the level of my characters I consider myself lower middle class. I'm not starving or wanting, but certainly dream of all the cool things I could have if I was rich.

Nice to learn I've got rich friends.

I tend to have 20k on me at any one time but I float from 20k to 300k as I farm and sell Msha Qvic armour.
