I realize this site is barely off the ground but there are already a lot of tips and I’m ready to get started. I’m thinking of perhaps doing a podcast or just posts on my progress to 1000g from absolutely nothing, with no help, and NO add on. But first I need a new character in WoW. You can help by voting for what that character and server type will be:
- Race (any)
- Class (any)
- Server Type (PVE, RP, PvP, RP-PvP - I will begin on the type voted on using a server I currently have zero characters or friends on).
My mission: achieve 1000g by using only the techniques I’ve extolled here on this site. No add-ons, no help from other characters.
Your mission: Please vote with a comment on this thread and tell others about it to vote. The majority of votes for each Race, Class, and Server type will win, and that is who I’ll play and on which server I will play on. If you have a comment, great. If it’s just Race: xyz, Class: xyz, Server Type: xyz, then that’s fine.
I’ll keep this open until New Year’s Eve, midnight, and will begin the next day, January 1st ‘08 with a new character.
Looking forward to the votes, and if there aren’t any, I will still choose something and let you know! So let’s hear from you.
UPDATE: As of 12.24 7am, votes are as follows: Night Elf (Drae 2nd), Warrior (Druid 2nd), PvE (RP-PvE 2nd)
UPDATE #2: As of 12.27 5:34pm, it will likely be a PvE server, race uncertain but Night Elf in the lead. Also, another tip that I will again reinforce: perhaps *the* most important aspect to keeping your gps high (that’s gold per second!) is making deals with others. Can’t count how many times talking to others has made a huge difference, whether mail or chat. One of my previous posts goes into that a little, but it’s something I will come back to.
UPDATE #3: Here’s how it’s going to work, roughly. I’m going to attempt a podcast. Have audacity and am actually able to (woohoo!) talk while in WoW, so will be recording sessions as I play. The first podcast will be an introduction to the character, why I chose it and my first adventures in getting enough money for an investment. As I have a family and other life, updates aren’t going to happen every day, but I will make every attempt to keep them fairly frequent and even if a shorter session, it should still prove valuable. My main fear is that anyone on the server I’m on is going to make me find a new job after the advice! Hehe, I’ll survive.
Also, there will be pictures! I’m going to create an images section for just this experiment and reference the set of images during the podcast, with links on the site. Not that they will be all too exciting, but they should help reinforce. Happy holidays, again. Really looking forward to starting this.
UPDATE #4: Happy New Year everyone! It’s 7 hours away from the new year, and I’m really looking forward to starting this. Unless more votes come, it is going to be a Night Elf on a PvE server. I am not promoting the site tonight so I don’t expect any more votes to come in. We shall see!
