The gold fever also hits Heroes of the Storm. One player has clearly overdone it.
In Heroes of the Storm, players are rewarded with gold after each match. The amounts range from 25 to 125 gold depending on whether they win or lose. Most players probably own a few thousand gold, but not pineconefire. He stated on Reddit that he has broken the magical barrier of 1,000,000 gold coins and is likely the first gold millionaire in Heroes of the Storm.
What is gold good for? In Heroes of the Storm, gold is the in-game currency with which most “non-premium content” can be unlocked. For example, all heroes can be purchased with gold. Alternatively, players can use gold to reroll the contents of loot boxes and improve (or even worsen) the items received. Occasionally, there are some mounts available for purchase with gold.
Why did he do it? In response to the question of his motivation, pineconefire said that he simply wanted to see if the counter would stop at 999,999. Clearly, it did not when it jumped to 1,000,046. This also led to the follow-up question of whether he would aim for 10 million gold. He will get back to that and perhaps write a post again in about 35 years.

High player level and many wins: As a small “side effect” of collecting gold, pineconefire has also reached a player level of 1970. His favorite heroes include Sonya (Level 76), Abathur (Level 70), as well as Muradin and Glitterbug. He has taken down nearly 80,000 opponents and achieved over 5,000 wins.
Community congratulates: On Reddit, most players react impressed or in admiration, although there are a few snickered comments. It is stated, for example:
- “You did it. Now you can go outside again.”
- “Gallywix, is that you?”
However, it is certain: If a new hero is released soon, like Anduin, then pineconefire can easily afford it.
How much gold have you collected in Heroes of the Storm? Do you regularly save gold?
In general, Heroes of the Storm is not doing well right now – many developers have been laid off:
