Of MMORPGs and Zeny

Been really slogged with work lately, so I only have time to come up with a semi-interesting story.

Ages ago, I used to play this MMORPG Ragnarok Online. The cutesy kiddy online game which everyone happens to love now. (Malaysians). Well, the sole currency in this said world of Ragnarok is the ever-desired ZENY! Zeny is power and Midgard is suffering from a case of severe inflation.

Although I have left the Ragnarok Community ages ago, I am now about to do something really really silly. I will be buying 350 million zeny. If that number does not shock you then, perhaps if you see it numerically, 350 000 000 zeny. WOW Thats a lot of eggs!

WHY? You might ask,... well NO its not to fund a fetish for that utterly delicious head gear or that totally incredible pointy magical weapon that will make me the Ultimate Warrior. Its more of a currency exchange. I'm buying "zeny" with REAL money to sell to someone in exchange for World of Warcraft reloads. Another MMORPG which I am currently immersed in.

Now the logic is,

Every month I pay RM60 for a Warcraft Reload. So for 6 months I pay a grand total of RM360.

Now I buy 350m zeny at 65 cents a million. 0.65x350 = RM230
65 cents a million is cheap. The Current rating for zeny=ringgit is RM1 per ringgit.

Next I sell the 350m zeny for a 6 month reload for Warcraft.

RM360 - RM230 for a grand total saving of RM130. Which is quite a lot!



ANYWAYS, lets see what else I have.

The Gnomes of the Gnomish Syndicate. An Alliance based all gnome guild on the Scarlet Crusade server. Disbanded after its leader made off with our guild funds. THAT devious bastard!...



Gilean Underharrow, former Chef now servant of Slyvanas's movement against the Scourge. Currently sitting on the throne of Lordearon which was previously vacated by its foolish king. The powers of the elements are now at the command of overlord of Chefs.

I shall not only CONSUME the souls of the unwary but also cook them in a delicate sauce and garnish with some coriander. May the Dark Lady watch over me.
