I am almost to the point of freaking maniacal laughter. Why? Well, I've been playin Ultima Online off and on today, farming crazy ant people for their sweet, sweet monies (and salable items), and I've managed to make just over 43 grand in a single freaking day. Why? Let's just say that my mage lady is approaching near-deific levels of power...master mage and climbing! Why do I need so much scratch? Because I want a fucking house, and the one I want is 160,500 gold, and I'm just under the halfway point.
After that, get a few vendors, scatter a few runes to my house around Luna, and let the jack start rollin in.
