A good New Year’s resolution could be to give up unnecessary belongings. And this is what it looks like when someone in WoW really gives a lot away…
At the turn of the year, many people make good resolutions to do everything better in the new year than in the previous one. But it’s not just about regularly going to a gym or eating healthier, but sometimes also about a particularly kind act – like in World of Warcraft. This has now become a true windfall for another player.
What happened? In the WoW Subreddit, the user blueteammedic posted a screenshot showing his inventory, which had accumulated a lot of belongings for a level 13 character. Among them were:
- Almost 500,000 Gold
- Several expensive mounts (like the Sandstone Drake or the Engineering Chopper)
- 32 Deep Sea Bags (30-slot bags)
All together, the value is probably around 800,000 gold pieces.
A complete stranger first handed him 20,000 Gold. After that, the two talked for several hours, after which all the other items followed.
Heirlooms right from the start: For blueteammedic, this meant that he could completely equip himself with heirlooms and wouldn’t have to worry financially in the game for a while. Afterwards, he immediately asked in the Subreddit for ways to “invest” the gold wisely and increase it – but that didn’t go down too well with the other players.
Otherwise, there were many congratulations from other users and recognition for the giver, who made another player very happy.
Why did the stranger do it? blueteammedic recounts that they both talked for a long time. Allegedly, the generous player did not want to quit WoW (as is often the case at the beginning of the year), but simply wanted to make someone else happy. The giver had received a large amount of gold and items many years ago and now wanted to gift another player as well.
Is the story believable? A few critical users pointed out that blueteammedic could have simply sent these things to himself to have a fitting story now. However, this seems rather unlikely when looking at the user’s post history. In recent weeks, he only started posting on the WoW Subreddit and was looking for tips and tricks to get started in WoW. So the story appears to be convincing.
Have you also ever received an unexpected windfall in your MMORPG? Has someone ever handed you the “virtual inheritance”? Or is this just a story that always happens to others?
