Time and Money invested in StarGateWars

So I did a rough calculation, being a little bored with studying right now. Here goes.

I have played StarGateWars for about 2000 days now. Estimate that I have spent about 2 hours on average on SGW - there have been weeks I was almost grown into my computer, bad times socially, good times SGW.. and the past few years I spend less time with SGW - that makes about 4000 hours.


Since I earn about 35€ (45$/28£) per hour, I would have made 140,000€ (181k$/113k£) in the time. (I did, a pretty factor more in fact, but that is beside the point. These are just some fun calculations.)

Picture that. 140k€ to have 7 years of fun. :-D Yep. 20,000€(26k$/16£) a year. :shock:



Worth it? I think so. :D

Re: Time and Money invested in StarGateWars

I don't want to think about it... Lol.

My figures would be smaller than yours due to my smaller income... Though I would estimate a similar time invested. But still yet I would rather not know the numbers. Lol

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

Wasted? Did you not have fun? :shock:

In my opinion, having fun is worth the time one spends on SGW. :)

Re: Time and Money invested in StarGateWars

far too any hours to think about, especially if you take into account the time on forums, msn ect that cames from having played this game for over 7yrs.

:shock: is that all you get for being an Executive in NL?? I'd be getting a new job in a better paying company..

and what if you took into account the amount of hours you spend a day on the forums alone let alone being admin for NG :? the amount would be insane :/

Section Admins - who will be 'in charge' of the section in question. They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role. And insofar as the Section Admin is responsible for the users, they are also responsible for the high level mod behaviour towards the users.
So -as a user - if you have an issue with how you are treated, rules, bans, whatever --goto the section admin... They are there for you!

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.

Re: Time and Money invested in StarGateWars

I was curious, so I went to check the oldest thread with current prices from a user way back when were..

1trill - 5trill = $20 per Trill
5trill - 10trill = $19 per Trill
Ower 10 trill orders are at $18 per Trill

Jesus, the money. <3
