Hunting journey of a non depo player *
If there was anything I liked more about EU than playing it, back in the day, was reading about other people’s experience, what they do in the game, how they do it and how to maximize all details to get the best efficiency as possible (not today’s eff parameter, but overall). Considering that, I thought there could be other players who would like to read more of these so I’m sharing my tt returns since I first started tracking in 2015.
I’ve been very passionate about the game ever since the beginning but my understanding, access to information, time and financial resources did not allow me to play it more than casual. I mean I was in game a lot, but it was more exploring and socialising rather than hunting. A neighbour introduced us to the game in 2005 and me an my gf at that time (wife today) were 100% hooked from day one.
The goal in my game was to get to a sustainability point and play the game without depositing. quickly found out tt returns were very different than what people complaining were saying and my results were a lot closer to the active players' shared numbers. A number of people have various degrees of access to my data or have seen enough snippets from it they could call it out if numbers are not real. All tracking was manually done, tt in represents defence cost + ammo + weapons decays.
Each episode will have the results ** tracked as well as some information about gear used and relevant information for me at that point and also several highlights of the year, notable loots, achievements and milestones. Will post an episode once I have gathered all the highlights I want to share. Will be a bit harder to pull out the first episodes as I need to dig for data and screenshots.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
* - up until the starting of the log, throughout the 9 years of playing, there were small deposits quarterly. The sum overall is below $2500. After I started withdrawing, some of the money went back in the game in boxes, to try my luck with the new rings and occasionally use the buff pills
** - the log will not include many details about markup
