We managed to reach our week one goal of making fifty Euro with Diablo 3 and the real money auction house and decided to give ourselves a little time off from work. When you mix playing computer games and trying to set up a startup business the lines between work and spare time can easily blur. So we thought it’d be important to just stay off the game for a while and refuel our power cells.
Thuata flew over to Austria to visit her family and Triple, Sapphirus and me decided to chill and just enjoy ourselves – playing other games. Luckily my man Martin was able to get me one of those shiny Dota 2 invites, so me and Triple spent most of the last two days (and nights) pwning noobs. Sapphirus mostly spied on foreign nations and spread his new-found religion known as “Hentaiism” throughout the known world in CIV 5 – Gods & Kings.
Our goal for week two is to make 75€ with Diablo 3. After we pretty much emptied what we had stashed item wise in the last few weeks, we’re looking into a few possibilities to make that happen. We’re taking it slow, aiming for a gold to money conversion rate somewhere along the lines of one buck per hundred thousand gold, going for five Euro range items. I’ll let you know how that works out.
I agree on that… Taking a little break once a month is a good thing to do. I’m more of a casual player but used to be an hardcore no lifer when I was playing d2 and wow. I prefer my casual gaming life since I have a gf, money, and much more stuff :p.
Oh and by the way man, I LOVE your blog
Hey Thorix. Casual gaming is cool. I think Diablo 3 is designed for people just like you. Of course Athene, Kripp, Kungen and their grandma are already through Inferno and by now their cat’s able to solo Hardcore Diablo Inferno – but that’s not the majority of players. The majority of players has a job, a life, a family – and just enjoys putting in a few hours here and there, relax while farming a bit and is cool with progressing through the game over time. I wonder if Athene’s girlfriend’s always so happy about his wish to be first in everything – if you know what I mean.
Glad you like my blog.
Enjoy your break! I actually took most of the weekend off as well and have to say it was the best time ever.
We NEED breaks, especially when Diablo 3 begins to feel like a job instead of a game.
Though for bloggers like you and me, it really is a job haha. Great blog, one of the few D3 blogs left worth reading.
