Several things: First, above all, this is a porn game, and realism is not the priority. Second, with Alex's situation, you will find out more about it as you play. She does not have the typical rich girl situation. Her brother has a very different relationship with the family than she does. Nova should have more money, yes, I agree, but she seems to give it away very easily, so maybe she's not so good with money?

Remember that Nova and Annie seem to be successful in Eternum and have played for years at this point. So the money situation is more that they have the money in what they do in the game over merely having it in the real world.

Reminder that levels do jack shit except provide access to high level equipment and spells, so a high level person is still as squishy as a low level person (see: Jerry).

Furthermore, not everyone is into the grind mindset like Annie. Alex likely leveled up by finishing challenges in Eternum rather than grinding through quests, as her swimming and part-time work take priority over playtime. And considering her class (Shapeshifter) she likely doesn't need that much equipment to begin with (though then again it doesn't look like her class would be "grind friendly" compared to the likes of Annie or Dalia).

Nova on the other hand doesn't seem like the type who uses any sort of special equipment other than Dione, so money is likely not a priority for her. Instead she seems to prefer gaining notoriety under her alias over anything else, so completing personal feats like never missing her shots (except that one time) are what she's likely focusing on instead of earning cash.

Haha, nice try but i agree with him, the eternum and real world currency really doesnt make any sense at all imo. And if it does ... than they are all utterly stupid with money :LOL:

But i wouldnt consider it a big deal and think its meant to be taken with some humour

Except it's sort of like bitcoin in that the game money is useful as cash in and out of Eternum... That's why it doesn't make much sense. Annie never comes off as broke, like Nova and Alex do. Alex has real reasons, Nova doesn't seem to.

What I'm suggesting is that Nova comes off as a high paying hitman based on what the story gives us from 0.3 when she meets Calypso as well as the mystery game where she's calling out lies. If she's based her income on Eternum, it's because of what she can get away with in the game because of her skillset and assets.

Ah that´s it. Maybe i understood you can somehow change Eternums to real money easily. But seems not. Also Nova wouldn´t want to end like Capone for tax fraud and Alex...is a teenager.

I would be millionaire too because Bitcoin scheme was perfect at my teens days. And im not.

Also Nancy would left her job too and she couldn´t.

Too much logic in a porn game. Raul and Noah would tell me to stop being smart.

It tells you they're pegged to the dollar. And Noah and Raul took payment for distracting yoga boy in Eternum money. They mention there are RL nations with lesser GDPs - I don't see exchanging being TOO difficult.

Yeah. Im contradicting myself. Maybe Raul and Noah said eternals are less traceables. But also Annie (i think) said people have jobs in Eternum and every month they change their eternals for real money. So it is not difficult.

But well i don´t think Caribdis wants to put a wall of text explaining how the economy is in his porn vn. I would be the first to said: too much text; didn´t play or something like that.

Even if she is a teenager. Alex you dumbfuck you could gain shit tons of money. Just be a guide for noobs in the dungeon or something like that. Why the fuck are you struggling so much? And with respect because im also a worker.

Swim training for the Olympics >> Eternum

Now that I think about it, maybe that's also why she limited herself to part-time jobs in the real world, cause all that physical activity from those jobs keep her fit for swimming as opposed to playing Eternum and not clocking in that extra real world workout-

...

...Oh gods.

THAT'S why Dalia keeps losing to Micaela!

Nah. Dalia loses to Micaela because she is a monster. I would blame Nancy: she knows her daughter is destroying herself against a pro westler but said nothing.

Damn Chang. You scored the best in the game without playing Eternum.

Dalia lost, because well . . . I can't say it why , because this place/site, is likely to sensitive for this subject, and someone will be upset, or triggered by it:whistle: :KEK: :LOL:

As if Cari isn't potentially setting things up so that Dalia would finally one-up Micaela in an event later on (like that trope where someone puts a shit-ton of effort on something only to be beaten at every turn, but then later does things effortlessly and only then will they realize that they've actually grown). :whistle:

No I didn't mean that "deep",
I was more in the line of Micaela is a Transgender male, competing in female sport, and it's simply not fair :KEK: :ROFLMAO:

as i said, exactly the reaction I expected:rolleyes: :coffee:

I know I know, I'm a Dik , blah blah blah . . .
I mean, in a universe where a walking deus ex machina, a fat-guy-turned-gigachad, a man-too-cursed-to-die, a VRMMORPG-that's-actually-astrally-projecting-people-to-the-spirit-plane, and a planeswalking horndog exist, you had to choose a more grounded explanation for Micky's existence because...?

:WaitWhat:

And no, I am not accusing you of being a dick (heh). I just find it weird that you would single her out, is all.

:WaitWhat:
Because of just a Joke, may be ?! ;)

But come on, dont tell me it would not be funny, if finally the night has come and Chang, get lucky , after a wedding of course because Micaela and her family are traditional, so, no sex before marriage.

and then when the night has come, Chang reach down and find something similar of his own there:LOL::ROFLMAO:
