I was just wondering, since I came over from RuneScape. How much in GW Money is considered A LOT to you guys. If you have played runescape before, you could probably do something like this for me to help...
Runescape 1m = _?_?_?_ GW Money
I can do the math on how much more than 1m is if i can only have a little comparison for the two.
Greatly Appreciated!

How Much Is A Lot Of Money In Gw?

a useless question really. Depends on what you want to do with that gold.. 1mil is plenty for most needs.
If you go around chasing rare asian minipets you will need 50+++++ mils for just the entry imo :P

Its is relative. Some people in game think I'm rich when I say I have over 500K in storage, but I laugh inwardly when I know there are people out there with a million gold in storage and stacks of ectos. Of course had I not bought an elite set of armor for each character (or 2 sets) I'd be at a million or so too in assests. :-D

wait, you want us to compare the currencies of two DIFFERENT games? this ain't the world bank son. your question can't really be answered, because there ISN'T an answer.

10 gold woohoo im rich

even between servers of games that haven't been globalized like GW, it is common to have diferrent rates...
But, well, if you want a random guess (ive never played Runescape) answering you question, I would say :
Runescape 1m = 100m GW Money

100k is rich, but nobody gives a damn unless you have obby armor on, and welcome to a real game.

How much is a lot of money?
I had a lot, but even I couldn't have competed with all these new found wealthy people throwing around 50m on a mini. Ill gotten wealth is easily spent
1m Runescap is prob around 100k GW money. Last rate I seen with people trying to sell/trade runescape accounts for GW accouns

Let's see:
1M Runescape gold has a Real World value off about 2-3 USD.
1M GW gold has a Real World value off about 55-60 USD.
Hence, a 1-20 ratio seems fair. Let's substract a bit in the benefit of Runescape, and you got yourself a 1-15 ratio.
In other words, 1M in GW is about 15M in Runescape...

I used to play Runescape however I haven't played recently but since I last looked.
1M in Runescape = around 25-50k in guildwars...
at the most 1m runescape gold = 100k guildwars gold.
1M in Runescape = around 25-50k in guildwars...

rich people have more money than what can be stored in their chest and on their charcter due to gold holding limitations. the truly rich people have stacks of ecto (trading material work bout 4.5-5k ea.), highly expensive items, and uber rare minipets that are also worth stacks of ecto.

Greatly appreciated!

Yeh so as others seem say, so 1milj gw = 30milj Runescape. and 1milj is not much money in gw, its what it takes get yourself armor(obbys), Real rich ppl have ~50milj+ to spent on someting useless like minis.
Expherious
Guildwars isnt about being rich, they offer cheap armor that is just as effective as armor that is worth millions therefore there is no comparison.
Canine Teeth
The 1m = 100k is the closest I'd agree, a decent sum which takes a while to get but isnt exactly all that. But just to make other's point clearer, nobody cares if you have 100m, they'd rather see you with Full Bandos, AGS and a whip and DFS on you.
thoreau
If someone told me in GW that they had 1 million gold I'd say, 'Wow,that's a lot of gold.'

The only way to evaluate a currency, both virtual or real, is to do a comparison on the commodities/services you can acquire with the said currency in comparison to another one.. Can you buy a Fissure armor or get a run in xxx dungeon with runescape gold?
So no, you didnt get what I was saying I believe.
own age myname
I had my friends ask the same question to me; What = 1mil RSGold in Guild Wars. I'll say it to you like I said it to them.
You can't really tell. I can make 1mil easy in Runescape but 100k is a bit harder to come by for me in Guild Wars (I'm defiantly not the richest guy out there).
Depends on your skill level, it used to be hard for me to get 1mil in RS but I get it easy now. Just like 100k is harder for me to get now, but I'll get 100ks easy in Guild Wars someday :P.
So I'd say 1mil RS = 90k-120k Guild Wars? Hard to be exact.

Anyway, back on topic, I think it DOES matter on how you play and what you spend it on. I suppose you could compare with the real money thing but what about in-game items. Take a decent...say sword in GW and compare it with the same thing in Rune. Not taking into effect skins or rarity...just a good sword that works good with the right mods. If it takes (example only) 20k Rune gold verses maybe 10k GW gold then you might be able to compare them. Again, those were only examples as I haven't played Rune.

To be perfectly honest, you can do as the person in Icyfiftyfive's link does - follow the book to the letter, play 24 hours a day and do everything that everyone does.
But that would make you a dime a dozen. Do you want to be a dime a dozen? I for my part enjoy the gameplay value of the game.. as long as you know what your goals are, you will be rich when you have any armor that have max armor (70), any runes you want - insignias... max damage weapon.. and a lot of skills ^_^

1mill rs=100k guildwars
as far as being rich and what not i go by this:
1g-1000k-casual well off player
250e-1000e-highly competitive player
5000e = rich
8000e+= Rich player who likes cash and the "nice stuff" guild wars offers

While you can make conversions, it won't be as accurate still since the things you spend money on in between the two games is different.
You could just play the game and see how much you make over time ya know.
Operative 14
I really is a matter of view, but..
I consider anyone with 100K relatively comfortable; they can go out and buy pretty much anything except for about 10% of the really expensive items in GW.
500k I consider well off. With the exception of a few high end mini's you can go out and buy pretty much anything in the game at a moments notice.
1000K (1 million gold) I consider rich. You can get everything your heart desires minus a Mini Panda and a few similar items.
Anything over 1000K I consider A Lot Of Money

byteme!
I used to think 1mil in GW was a lot. After 4 years of GW's existence 1mil is pretty common minus newer players. You see money like this thrown around all the time in game and here on guru. That's not to say everyone is rich but compared to say 2-3 years ago having 1mil kicking around isn't all that uncommon. There was once a post somewhere (can't remember where) that mentioned the average GW player had 20k. This was 2-3 years ago. Since then we've had....
Monthly Zkeys
M.O.X.
Speed farming
Dungeon running/services
Free keyless chests in Nightfall
Handbooks
Weekend events
Vanquishing
*These are just some of the many new ways we've never had before to help us make money. The average GW player is richer now then they were before. Keep in mind this is WITH loot scaling in place.
I consider 5-10mil to be well off in GW nowadays. Anymore then that and you can basically do whatever the hell you want whenever you want.

Casual - 0-20k
Average - 10-100k
Addicted - 10k-x millions
No life - see the above ele posted
I've known players who've played since beta but never had more then 10k, and others who in today's money would have been worth xxx millions. I say today's money due to the fact gold is so much easier to come by then it was back in the day. Back then having a stack of ecto was rich, these days stacks are thrown around like pennies.

For someone, 100k is rich, for others 20.000 Ectos.
For me, it is something in between.

I used to play Runescape. I bailed the moment I bought a new computer that could play more worthwhile games. I know that's a not-so-subtle dig at RS, which in retrospect is a horrible horrible game.
I can honestly tell you that you're not going to need anywhere near the money in GW that you need in RS. My Ahrims barrows armor in RS cost me 1.8 mil. You can get the highest level armor in GW for 1K each piece plus the crafting materials. If you want elite armor then you're looking at more, 15k each piece, but you don't need it.
Also, what you'll find is weapon drops are actually helpful and relevant so you really don't need to be constantly buying weapons. And if you die, you get a Death Penalty and you won't be losing all your valuable armor and weapons like you do in RS. By the time you get decent weapon drops in RS your character level is way past that weapon. And since you get character slots in GW you can share stuff between characters since they use the same bank space. You might find a great bow while playing your warrior and you can just place it in the bank for your ranger.
I'm not rich by any means, I have nearly 100k in my bank and since I'm not into mini pets or expensive vanity items, I really don't have anything to spend it on. I don't have to buy expensive runes for my Mage or arrows for my ranger, or supplies to level up some stupid skill so I can qualify for a quest. At some point I might get obsidian armor for my ranger, but I'm in no hurry.
Welcome to GW. You'll quickly forget about RS and its bad graphics and mind numbing skill grinding.
I know this doesn't completely answer your question, but I guess it does in a way. Sorta.
A one to one comparison is difficult so you can only really go by items. Good armor in RS = millions. Good armor in GW= 5k + materials. Good weapon in GW= free if you're patient and use keys and lockpicks that drop. Good weapon in RS (dragon right)? = 250-500k

well GW money is worth a lot more than runescape money in terms of buying it with real world money. either way rich is a relative term, as one already said, i have about 500-700k in money and assets but thats a fraction of the money some players have who have played the game for a while or got lucky.

A lot of money is always having enough to buy your next trinket.
