Ta, mates!

There need to be some guides about how to handle / move around inf over cap.
Cause once you get going, the stuff just piles up. I just have paths carved out so that I can go back and forth to my base and to mishes.
Once I hit the cap I just started to e-mail it to alts. I think I've passed on something like 4 billion at this point.
Gratz to the OP though. I remember when having something like 100 million seemed mind boggling to me. I don't think I looked at the guides until I actually hit 1 billion. I know the number of posts I had here could of been counted on one hand at that time. I just looked at recipe cost and crafted cost and went to town on those. It was funny to poke in once every maybe year and then see talk of the Devastation Quad during the time that was my favorite to abuse. It's even in one of the guides that talks about the oddity in terms of it's pricing back then.
Gratz on the accomplishment! I never made it to 2B... I got up to about 1.4 and then spent it.

Congrats! ^_^
As a new marketeer, your job is to keep the masses down... by... um, writing guides on how to get rich and stuff. Yeah, I don't know how we do it either.

Congrats. I've only been back to the game for a couple of months now after a multi-year hiatus. But using the guides and spending only a little time has now netted me over 9B. I've re-spent almost 2/3 of that on a bunch of new alts I've PL'd up. But its really not that hard to gain ridiculous amounts of inf these days with just a little patience and some luck.
Congrats on your newfound ebilness, FF!

Congrats indeed, sketchy top hat included!
I still have yet to hit 2 billion myself as I
1) market slow, when bored
2) keep spending it and sending cash to hungry alts
I've thought about emailing cash back to my main market toon just so I claim I hit the cap, but that feels like cheating. But considering that all the alts I care about have over a hundred million and can work themselves into the slotting want for them, I'm not complaining.
I never have reached the 2B mark.
Once I hit 1.5b or so I e-mail 1b off to an alt so I always have room to play with.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

A few months ago I read some of the guides and decided to give it a go. Turns out you were all right - both the guides, as well as the part about the first billion being the hardest. To all the doubters out there: even just casual working of the markets (several times a week but not every day) can get you that cup of tea within a couple months (read: less than three).
And to think I used to consider even 50 million a near-unobtainable fortune...
Oh, I have always only had a full helmet, and there was no "helmet + tophat" costume option (maybe one can be purchased with paragon points (TM) later...), so I had to improvise. My apologies.
In conclusion, many thanks! I'm off to buy something NAO to celebrate...
