We Tried to Earn as Much Gold in WoW: Forever as We Could in 2 Hours—Which Involved a Mugging, Slander, and at Least One Crashout

Three PC Gamer editors competed to make the most gold in two hours in World of Warcraft: Forever's beta, starting as level 1 horde characters with 20 silver each. One sold roleplay "wisdom" at a zeppelin tower for tips, another leaned on his journalist fame and slandered his rivals while begging, and the third had a secret strategy. The run included a mugging, an insult, a fall from the tower, and at least one crashout.
