I bought Diablo III when it came out, and I had been playing it, trying to get up to level 60 before the real-money auction house opened. I succeeded with that goal, and then found out that after you reach level 60 there are multiple tiers of gear that you can buy that allow you to progress further into the game where the higher level, and thus more expensive, loot is.
So I have also been training my blacksmith, and I bought some plans for something called a Demon Hand, which is a legendary fist weapon for the monk. I crafted a few of them, and then put them up for auction.
One sold for $10.00. This is a personal milestone for me, as it is the first time I have sold a piece of virtual equipment. My virtual blacksmith used virtual materials to craft a virtual weapon that made me real cash.
I still have a long ways to go, and I'm hoping my blacksmith will become more profitable in the months to come.

Cool story! Good job!
Auction sales = $10
Monthly subscriptions = -$30
Net profit = -$20 not including credit card costs for mats bought on the auction house.
One could have taken up a real world trade and made much more and got a tan in the process.
Listen, those games are fun but they are truly life suckers, please stop.

yes, and what a terrible blue print to set for an income. Is this their new industry they will promote?
