The Richest Gamer In WoW?

Anyone who is even a bit of an MMORPG fan may have heard the recent rumblings in the World of Warcraft community about a certain player who has managed to accomplish something completely unheard of, so beyond what anyone could have expected from the game.

This player, Brad Johnson, has actually managed to surpass what Blizzard deemed the maximum amount of gold in the game more than four times over, making him the first and only player thus far to reach the elusive and seemingly impossible level of 1 million gold.

Brad Johnson’s Unthinkable Feat

What is so special about Brad that has made him one of the most successful gold makers in the history of online gaming? Much like any other MMO fan out there, Brad has been playing for many years, starting with Ultima Online, enjoying Lineage and Star Wars Galaxies in turn and finally ending up at World of Warcraft, the ultimate online RPG.

He has been playing WoW for four years now and in that time he has learned just about every little detail you can imagine, but how did he manage to do what no one else has even come close to doing?

It’s Always About the Fundamentals

It started with fundamentals. Yup, that’s right – that same very word your basketball coach used to bellow repeatedly into your ears as you did line sprints in Junior High School. Even WoW has fundamentals and when you learn the very core of how they operate, the possibilities are endless. Brad did just that and by doing so he was able to build up a collection of gold beyond what anyone could have imagined.

Blizzard didn’t see it coming – they have a gold cap in their game set at 214,748 gold 36 silver, and 48 copper. The number may seem completely random, but it’s really just a limitation in the coding and a sign that the game’s very creators didn’t expect one player to ever amass that much wealth.
If you’re still scratching your head in disbelief, you can view the video proving Brad’s accomplishment here:

What did Brad Do Differently?

No, Brad didn’t buy gold from gold farmers. Brad didn’t spend 12 hours a day in the game. Brad didn’t even borrow gold from friends. Brad simply used the basic fundamentals of the game’s economy and worked the Auction House the way it was meant to be worked.
