The thought of having, let alone lend 10k worth of gold back in Vanilla…. can’t imagine it.

Now you throw a piece of gold on the ground and the Orgrimmar police write you a fine for littering…

Then he gave me 10 gold and wished me good luck. I remember thinking “Wow, I will never need for money ever again.” Ha. I made that 10 gold last for the nearly the next 40 levels.

A week later I stopped playing the druid @ level 20 with 6k gold from selling food.

But generally as long as I have “enough” gold, Currently 200k, i tend to be fairly extravagant, be it epics or 310% flying for alts and I am looking forward to crafting 365 weapons for them.

I decided to give it a second try late in Vanilla and rolled a druid with a friend on a new server. We started a guild and ended up with all sorts of people. I was randomly whispered by a level 40,,,a 40 wtf does a 40 want with a level 20 something druid? “Mind coming to BB with me?” What’s BB? “LOL Booty Bay!” Okay, I’ll go. “Do you know where Ratchet is?” No. “Okay, follow me on this guy.” Needless to say we got to Ratchet and Booty Bay where he has me visit an AH and gives me a bit of gold and a couple items. White items…yes I was like “wtf??!?!”. He tells me to put them on the AH for an outrageous price. I do and he logs again. This time I see the auction purchase deal. I see a couple thousand gold come to my mailbox. Then he tells me to take the gold and buy bags that he’s put up. So I do and give him the bags and gold. I get an even split of gold and bags. He says he mainly plays Horde, but has made an Alliance alt and needed someone gold and bags to get started. The vastness of the WoW world hit me then and there. The only other time I felt that feeling was entering Darnassus for the first time on a Night Elf hunter. All the max level characters and then mounts…yeah I was hooked on WoW until my college blocked it!

Thinking that few thousand gold from some random guy was a lot compared to now I have alts with easily double that amount. Thanks for the reminder of how far WoW’s economics and gold have come! :)

Now, I should be hitting 1 million gold tommorow. Time have certainly changed.
