I've had a stroke of genius. The idea i'm thinking of is using my tarot cards in Everquest. for those of you who have never been in a computer store. Everquest is a massively multiplayer online Role playing game. And when I got the gold pack it came with 3 cloth maps. so I shuffle the cards . and divide them and set each pack of cards I've divided on this one map with the 5 main continents on it then interpret the top card. if it is not specific enough i draw another card and add that cards meaning.
I'm thinking about selling readings for in-game currency. If anyone reads this post please reply and tell me how stupid and farfetched this plan sounds.

Yami Yugi: I think that sounds like a great idea. But what kind of readings are you going to do? Advising people on what to do in Everquest, or more personal readings? Because if you're going to advise people on their game strategies, wouldn't this be detrimental to yourself? I mean, imagine if you advised someone to do something that would turn against you as a player? But doing the readings for currency sounds cool.

I'm thinking about using the map readings to see what's best to do in certain areas. Like yesterdays area reading i predicted it would be more profitable in velious to aim for treasure not EXP.
And last night I predicted how long someone spent online the previous day and he said i was correct. (by the way it was nine hours) I'm still practicing on there but I think i got a whole lot of people interested in tarot. Plus theres someone on there who does numerology readings.Plus I'm gonna start charging today but I've already made 60 platinum and a two handed velium longsword in donations.

You're gonna be rich! :)
And you can join two passions in one. I think this is marvellous. And you'll make a whole different circle of friends there - the normal circle, and the occult circle. Great!

I'm a recovered EQ addict, and I must say, that IS a stroke of genius. A much more entertaining way to make extra plat than my character Quizene, who was a cook...
If you're going to do online readings, you might as well do them in an online world eh?
