I only have 10 to 20 mil and don't think they should sell gold. I play the game to have fun.
Since I don't sell anything then, I don't really know what it is worth. And since I will give away what I do not need/use, Pretty much everything I have has no monetary value, Even the gold I do have. Therefore, I would conclude that in game, my monetary value is 0.
If I had to guess tho, I would say in the 5-10 mil range. Then again, at Luna prices, triple or quadruple that.
But I still hope that my friends think I am beyond price.

I am in to 300mil + side once you count everything I have, but I dont think EA should sell gold either.

Unrelated. Ea selling gold would devalue gold itself. People with billions will be able to survive the devalue and know how to make gold so they be ok just less value. People with less would need to end up buying gold from ea in order to keep up. You think POF at 130k is alot EA sells gold the average price can jump into the multi-millions for 1. Mother of all inflations.

Those that have give to those that do not. Though so youre in the probably 40million and up range as you can aford to give those who do not some nice high priced items. Luna rate is market rate usually not the the highest price you see there or the lowest just the most common price is the market price.Since I don't sell anything then, I don't really know what it is worth.

I think a better question for the poll would have been. "What's in your wallet?"
If I had kept all the gold I ever made from rares trades etc instead of selling it way back when....I would assume by now I'd be in the 4-5b range.
A few months back I tried to figure out how much gold my characters were holding. It came out to just under 190 million spread across 25 shards and not quite 200 "developed" characters that have gear of some sort and that I've spent some time building up their skills. I own no real rares and have no interest in acquiring any. I have no castles but do have two keeps that are located on shards where they were relatively easy to place. The rest of the houses I own are just ordinary custom houses that have no extra value based on their locations.
Compared to most people playing UO, it sounds like I have very little of value to show for having played just over five years--just a lot of characters (and many many pets), many of whom still have years to go before they reach their full potential.

You might have more worth than you think. The keeps alone in any shard are worth quite a bit. Pets are easily powergamed trained so if you have some pre patched pets, good stats newer pets, rare pets that eat gold,pets that can't be found anymore, Items in your keeps,old deco, prepatched anything,event items,any large custome homes are worth something no matter there location. Your worth is alot more than you believe.
Completely unrelated. But if you want gold from EA just buy a transfer token and sell it to another player.

Poll is too low
I'd say I've got the 300m alone in junk in my house between spellbooks, heritage tokens, an evil idol, assassin armor, bods, etc.
I don't even want to think about all the misc equipment on my chars(10 on one shard, and probably another 15+ on other shards)

I don't think it's completely unrelated. I mean, of course if someone earned billions of gold they aren't going to want UO to sell it and cheapen their accomplishment. And I totally agree with that. I'm in the dirt poor category, so I don't have a stake in this, except as a game world and sandbox. I don't want anything sold, myself, but especially gold. Even more so than items of power. It would completely ruin the entire economic aspects of the game. Shatter it, never to mean anything ever again.

People who have billions and people who have nothing both should be united in ea not introducing zillions of gold into a economy which has kept strong for 11 years from thin air or cheapening hard to optain items or devaluating rares to being common items that you can pick up from the floor of any bank this is why test center is not popular to play foever. If people are broke then they chose to be broke if there rich then they chose to be rich. If they are broke and want to be rich all they need to do is learn the game if they rich and want to be broke all they need to do is give away everything or let it decay.
But thats the other topic. This topic is just how much do you have. You sure your dirt poor? You never really know untill you come across a 100mil old rare catching dirt in a old bank box of a unused character that wasnt rare before but now is. Or a pet you grabed 6 years ago and forgot about it and realize they dont make them anymore.
Of course the worst part is finding that 100 mil rare today and realizing a ea patch yesturday made that 100mil rare worth 10k at your local collector.

In a month I made about 850 mil off my vendor. I give away as much as I keep. So, its not about the gold.

if I sold every single item I own in UO at a fair price including my 3 keeps I would estimate my entire fortune is worth close to a billion in gold give or take a few million. if you ask me how much gold in the game I have right now I have just over 30 million gold combined.
nothing...gimme
I don't even have an account anymore, EA dosen't want to help me simply move my house from account to account. Which would be the first true service I ask for in what, 4 years of total subscription and investment in that sand-meta-cube thing.
I only ask, please dudes, help me transfer my house.
NOOOOOOOOO !! *WIND AND SPITINIS IN THE FACE*
Chill out !
I think I'm worth that, at least, to be humble.

Hm, i'd be curious about how much people have in cash. Since a lot of people's wealth is mostly in stuff they'll never use, thus they always talk about not having much money.

Well, it' only 120 tallies claiming 300+ million gold. That's out of what, 60,000? 70,000? total players?
That would mean that a very large percentage of the ultra rich in UO post here, where a very, very, miniscule percentage of the non-uber rich either post here or are willing to take the poll.
So, DEVs....
when I get an avalanche of negative posts about my claims that the power elite are dominating the game to the detriment of newer players, and to UO itself, this is why!!!!

Most of those players are in the asian shards and they have there own forum. So those that post here must be the majority of the non-asian shards.

I do. I actually am surprise that so many have less than 300mil. Siege players need to 10x the amount they own in order to compare to the poll.

And That's just gold. Imagine if you total up what you own. You are in the multi- billion range.I've got over 500 mil sitting on vendors right now with a few mil more in various bank boxes.

I agree if they by cash only they just say 10mil at one time or 5 mil or 30mil or less than a mil and say there poor. But if they take the value of all they own they will actuall be worth 100's of millions-billions

Most likely you play siege mostly I believe. 10x your amount would be the transfer rate to productions. So yea welcome to the club.
U
UOKaiser
Guest
Then you can imagine if they ever decided to leave siege. Everything they have there is worth more than production. Person on siege has 100mil after converting what they own decides to move to production all sudden he has 1 billion lol.
I am one of the wealthy people on siege as well. I do play prodo on the side. I'd say accounts + gold/items on siege I have about 150-200 million gold so it be about 2 billion prodo if 1-10 ratio... on prodo it self I have about 500 million gold and then real event arties, replicas, etc..
Take into consideration though how many rare collectors are thats where the big money is at. People with the huge museums full ancient stuff worth things that are just priceless....... We have a collection on Siege name Famine who prolly has spent 100s of millions of gold collecting rares over the years that siege has been in production.
I know there are quite a few on Prodo as well. Gold like everyone is saying it sells for 50 cents or lower on production shards... its almost worthless 10 mill now was 500 to mill back in the day. Many hardcore pvpers have 100's of millions just to spend foolishly on their suits. Hardcore merchants have billions that have been selling items for years...
The differnce on siege is their are no dupes like Prodo shards so our gold value has stayed in tact where production shards the dupes have just killed it. But thats like any other game that comes out now a days the programmers can't make it flawless.. Which is quite sad because its usally a simple mistake and a fix they do later that changes everything but its been already ruined.
As my friend Speedy said if I hadn't sold all the gold and items from prodo and siege I'd be easily worth a few billion on Prodo and 500-600 Million on Siege Perilous... Thats just the way things work people come and go sell things buy things back and fourth... Uo in my opinion is still the best game out right now nothing really competes every other game is about grinding... If E.A. really put the time effort, and advertisement into this game we'd have a lot better population every where and a better game. OSI should of never sold it to E.A.

Your correct in all your assesment. Though even siege has had inflation over the years just on regular rate. Also it's a bit more difficult to just keep hunting without interruption to generate more gold from the systems as most the popular spots will be a risk for solo.
The rare collectors are in the filthy rich category just because of what those museums hold. though the risk of them losing it all is on a patch to patch basis.
5 my characters can claim this mark between suits and bank on one shard not counting vendors that hold gold for three different accounts and other shard totals kaiser is right should be a poll in 1 b 2 b 3 b 5 b 10 b

Ah, so about 40-50% your wealth in cash? Though I think you'd have a higher percentage than many, since you do run a vendor.I've got over 500 mil sitting on vendors right now with a few mil more in various bank boxes.

Nah, after thinking about it a while, I figure more in the 2-4 billion range, and that may be conservative. I've got 30 soulstones that are worth 420 million just by themselves at current market price.
U
UOKaiser
Guest
I don't think you can count soulstones if there used. As you can't resell them so value of them are 0. Maybe that would go under the value of expensure. As many people spend like 80 mil on a orny when it came out though because the worth of it is extremly less now then there worth is less.
C
Connor_Graham

They'd sure be counted if I ever decided to sell my account, so as far as value of the account goes, that investment would be part of it.
U
UOKaiser

That is true. Though I tried to avoid account value because then soulstones,skills and characters,upgrades,expanded storage,expansions,vet rewards,years active,etc.. will have to be taken into account and well thats hard to measure. I wonder if I can buy a car with my account
