wait, can u rly make real money off this game??Yes, you can also lose real money off this game. I just play it like any other MMO though and put 15$ a month into it, and if I happen to lose the money then oh well. Wouldn't be any different than any other MMO.

so if this is rl money, can u redirect ur profit made from the game to you rl bank account?

[GuessWho17]

Well yes, you could, but theres many factors in a game like this. Going by my mining records I technically have made $57.64 alone thus far. But the money I made from that I've turned around and bought other equipment and etc so if I was to cash out I would have to sell those items first and once it's in "PED" form you can cash out. Like for instance when I mine minerals, its not just looted money, its ore that I must turn around and sell (which isn't hard) with a markup value via supply and demand, as shown in my math. Some stuff is barely worth crap (105%) while rarer materials are worth 150%+. On the contrary theres the money used for the bombs and the decay on my tools and whatnot, which all play a factor in the whole money making process. [size=18:ec3f4f9df3]Bottom line[/size:ec3f4f9df3]: With a little luck if I just got a +100 PED global in the game from mining, turn around and lets just say sell the ore for 120 PED, I could immediately cash out $12 at that point. But to get the global I might of used 50 PED in bombs, so overall I really only profited $7.

I personally just put in 15 bucks a month like any other MMO and treat it that way. If I lose 15$ then its no different from putting that monthly "fee" in any other MMORPG.
