If People Are So Desperate for Meso Why Dont They

Why don't they make money in real life and transfer that into NX or just buy meso? Instead of spending days to earn a few hundred mil why not work for 5 hours and get 10b?

A simple internet Query would show you that most of norway speaks and understands english and that Norwegian is a rather simple language to learn.

Anyhoo yeah getting a job and having a life is much easier than 20+ hours of merching for about $15 profit from nothing

For some reason I am willing to waste weeks scrounging up a few million mesos in MapleStory but not take out a few dollars to buy a meso sack. Idk why.

But he's not talking about them. He's talking about those who spend hours on merching when they can make more mesos by working in that time.[/quote]

[quote=frankomar]ohh so you guys get paid 125 norwegian krones an hour?[/quote]Different from person to person. I would say that's about how much most people my age make. I have a friend who'll make 150NOK/hour ($27) when he starts his new job soon. Hate him. Didn't even need education.

[quote=frankomar]well one norwegian krone is equal to 18 cents in US currency.
if you get paid 23 norwegian krones per hour it would equal about $4.14 cents
o.O[/quote]What. I said $22.

Lol whoah haven't heard this one before..

people play MS because they have the tendency to be really lazy and they often prefer to stay & chill at home. no lazy person wants to get a job... that just takes away from Mapling time

[quote=sasime12]fk norway lol[/quote]Lol don't feel bad. Just buying food is very expensive. If I were to have a pizza delivered, it would cost me like $50. I think that's much higher than in USA

$120 can get 10b if you spend it more wisely than NX....

Yeah, I agree. I live in Norway, and I've never heard of anyone who makes less than $18/hour. Of course clothes and groceries etc. are more expensive here, but not stuff on the internet. Very furtunate.

you need more than fast food minimum wage to make enough money in 5 hours to buy 10b meso

Some can't get a job, don't have the capabilities, or some other reason such as parents not letting them spending it on games. I'm pretty sure many people would utilize that option if they could, but there's also more options for money than making mesos in an online game. For example, you could get someone a gift with money, but not with mesos so people may choose to spend their money on stuff other than games.
