Rich is 100M+

 

Middle class is 30M-100M

 

Poor is 30M-

 

...from my point of view at least. I've only ever reached middle class. :?

 

 

 

What lol?? Since i can only earn 200k an hour and play 6 hours a week, presuming i did nothing but earn money, it would take me over 6 months to not be "poor" lol. I think it would be

 

 

 

Poor 1M- (Most F2P players do not have over 1M! And they make up a large amount of the RS population.

 

Middle class 5M-30M (All those level 70's and 80's you see everyday will likely have less than 5 mil. 30M is a lot!)

 

Rich is 30M (Super rich you can buy practically anything in the game that will actually help you. eg. everything excluding party hats and third age. Spirit Shields don't count!!)

What happened to the people between 1 mill and 5 mill? :P

 

 

 

OT.

 

 

 

Poor - 1.5 mill or less

 

Middle class - 1.5 mill to 30 mill

 

Upper Class - 30 mill plus

It's different between f2p and p2p. "Rich" depends on how much everyone else has, and how much you need. I haven't met many people in f2p with more than a set of rune and 100k, I'd say 5-10m in f2p is rich.

i only have 6m cash, but i dont consider myself poor.

 

 

 

"poor" >1mil

 

"lower middle" 1-15

 

"middle middle" 16-30

 

"upper middle" 31-70ish

 

"upper upper" 71-100

 

"lower rich" 101-150

 

"middle rich" 151-200

 

"upper rich" 200-300

 

"those [wagon]" 300+

Assuming you have the levels that you could now be using things like rune armour, or better than iron arrows (ie you have some level of expenses), then I would put poverty at about 100k. Why so low, it means you can't buy the stuff that you pretty much need. I would put poor at about 100k-500k. I have gap that needs to filled, so I introduce youto the Low Class, which is going to be 500k-1.2m (1.2 mill being enough to run the kingdom with 15 workers a day for 6 days). I am also going to introduce a transition class that starts at 2.4mill (so that you can stick 1.2m in the kingdom and still have 1.2m as available cash) and goes to 3m. Then I am going to use a chart to illustrate everything I have said and all the other catagoreys.

 

 

 

Poverty - <100k

 

Poor - 100k-500k

 

Low Class - 500k - 1.2m

 

Tranisiton - 2.4m - 3m

 

Middle Class - 3m - 8m

 

Upper Middle - 8m - 18m

 

Well Off - 18m - 50m

 

Rich - 50m - 100m

 

Filthy Rich - 100m - 1b

 

Middle Finger Rich - >1b

Poor: These people don't have money to buy good equipment nor do they use MTK/herb farming or have high skills to make money. <500k

 

 

 

Working class: As the name suggests, working class players are always working to make money for their next expence, be it a barrows set or money for MTK. 500k-5M

 

 

 

Middle class: These people have a cash pile that will allow them to do most activities in the game, but a single big item purchase will send them right back to the poorhouse. 5M-40M

 

 

 

Upper class: People who can buy 99s, several cheap rares or godswords without going broke. 40M-150M

 

 

 

Rich: People who can buy several expensive 99s or pretty much any item they want. 150M-1B

 

 

 

OMGWTFBBQ :twss: rich: The special class for the people who will get a 10/10 rating from everybody if they post a picture of their beloved gp mountain on the Rate This! subforum. The only purpose this much cash on your account serves is to make sure that you get to end every money pile discussion with "Mine is bigger than yours". >1B

Middle Class M = 700 -1500K

 

 

 

Rich NM = 500K+

Middle class should have more levels, but I'm too lazy. -.-

Rich is relative. Rich is having a substantial amount (of total gold piece value) more than the average players around you.

 

 

 

In F2P most seem to consider 10mil to be 'rich'.

I'd say, for most players, rich is 100m+ total worth of items

 

 

 

for someone that usualy plays rs (like, he has some fletch cape or whatever), rich would be 1bil+ total worth of items

 

 

 

I go with 100m+ because it matters for the majority (note that most people on the forums here aren't beginners, so they might not think of 100m+ as rich)

Wow I'm surprised by how low some of your predictions are. I had around 100m and none of my friends considered me rich, just above average.

 

 

 

For members:

 

Average: 10M-

 

Middle Class: 10M-150M

 

Rich: 150M+

 

 

 

I know you're all gonna say that this doesn't split into 3, because average should be in the middle, but think about the real world for one second, where, in proportion to this, 80% of a country is in the lower tier, 19% in the middle, and 1% at the top. It's the same for Runescape. ;)

I have 400M cash and around 50M in items. That seems like a lot to the majority, but it's really nothing compared to the ones who are truly "rich" - thousand party hat owner people.
