Making Money playing Online games

Ok. I carried on with Entropia again as I said I would do giving it another month to pick up a bit and I'm pleased to say it did. I made over 500 peds this month so about $50. I've not transfered everything out yet but I'm finally at the point that if I wanted I could probably sell everything and transfer out 1kpeds. Not being able to trade well with no new players stickign around for longer than a couple of hours made me go find some other money making avenus so I've started fapping people. So far it is much more profitable.

I'm goign to carry on in entropia and see if it as a one of month of better profit or if I can keep growing it.

Especially since the recession hit but I'm hoping the cry engine, once all the bugs are worked out, will help that pick up a bit.

Well I am open for trading if you ever need a partner in crime.

I usually lurk around malls and auction looking for bargins to slel at normal price for a reasonable profit. If you ever need a small bit of PED to buy something or want to spread the risk a bit I'll see what I can do. Of course the profits will be split % wise are my terms.

I spend most my time at Twins really 8:30-11:30 UTC weekdays and preety much any time on the weekends/friday night.

Btw impresive, 500ped from a small month of trading.

Yeah some of it was fapping. In fact I think over half of it was fapping but trading still wasn't bad. It was a good month.

Im not sure if the things Im about to say is allowed to descuss here but Im sure I will find that out quick

The best way to make money in games is to have an advantage over other players. Be it money,time,information etc...

I would like to tell you about botting/scripting. If you can be online with four or more computers in one single game, playing afk, be it grinding etc.. this will make you an good advantage. Knowing some code you can make about any script you want. So spend your 20hours a week monitoring 10 computers doing the work for you, will get you alot furter then just plaing your own computer 20 hours a week.

But ofc there are noone in the hole world doing this, since its illegal, Im just saying if it was leagl it woud been a good way to make money. I am certainly not doing it.

Tehe. I'd already decided I wanted to stick to something completely legal. I'm mostly only doing this for fun. I have a job irl that I find fun so I am not going to spend time doing something I find less fun for much less money.

Maybe I missunderstood you, but you where looking for some way to make money in gaming for 20hours a week?? I never understood it, that you wanted to quit your job to play 20hours a week... ????

No, she plays to have fun and she also wants to make some money while playing and having fun. Making money isn't her only goal, she also wants to have fun if I get her intentions correctly.

Everquest 2 has a special rules server called the 'Bazaar.' On that server it is legal to sell in game items, gold, and complete characters for real world dollars. They have a web based auction system that facilitates this.

https://exchange.livegamer.com/eqii/

In the past I made hundreds of dollars per month on that server. I had 2 primary strategies:
1. I would buy a low level toon for cheap. Then I would power level the toon and get decent gear and resell it for a profit.
2. I would harvest rare resources used for crafting. I would sell those via the IN GAME auction then sell my game plat for dollars.

With Eve Online you are allowed to sell your ingame money (isk) for game play time. This is easy to do and if direct just a little bit of energy you can play for free. Basically, someone who needs isk (say to upgrade their ship) buys a 60 day subscription card. They then trade that 60 day sub for isk. While you can't 'cash out' in Eve Online you can play for free. In effect, that is keeping $15 in your bank account every month.

In Second Life you have a lot of ability to create your own items using their scripting language. You can sell these items for Lindens and then trade Lindens for dollars. You could buy/rent an island and open a theme park of sorts if you want.

All that being said, if you want to make money playing a 'game' for 20 hours per week you'd be best to play online poker.
