NX Spender: How much have YOU spent on NX?

Wasn't going to do this, but then chose to as a way of unwinding after class? Don't ask. Ultimately I was just incredibly curious as to what I actually spent, after years of estimating.

 lol

First NX Purchase: September 23, 2006 (roughly one month after I began playing)
Last NX Purchase: July 30, 2010 (almost a year after hitting Lv. 200 and ~4 months after quitting...goes to show the level of addiction I was at)

Purchases GRAND TOTAL: 4,797,763
Credits GRAND TOTAL: 4,797,863

Apparently I made a lot more off MTS than I thought. Here's what I actually spent out-of-pocket on the game:

Credit-PayPal 10000 NX 10,000 11 110,000
Credit-PayPal 30000 NX 30,000 36 1,080,000
Credit-PayPal 5000 NX 5,000 6 30,000
Prepaid-NX Card 10000 NX 10,000 38 380,000
Prepaid-NX Card 25000 NX 25,000 86 2,150,000

TOTAL SPENT (In NX): 3,750,000
TOTAL SPENT (In USD): $3,750

lolz. Yeah, I was an #addict. I think my estimations were correct (I want to say I've guessed between $3-4k). I'll never regret spending so much because of the fun I had, the people I've met, and the memories the game created, but I do regret some idiotic purchases, especially in the MTS (hello lern2invest).

> Yeah, I really screwed up my lolfp in the beginning, and didn't want to remake it because omg I'd have wasted months of work? K well apparently I was fine throwing close to $400 down the drain instead. #smart

That one time I spent ridiculous amounts of money trying to upgrade my gear in one go

> This doesn't show it all, but basically one day I took $300 of birthday money and spent it in one sitting on NX cards that went directly to the MTS in attempts to craft incredible gear that is, lo and behold, totally obsolete today. The best part? Most of it bombed and I didn't have a glorious moment of quadrupling my Magic or anything. So yeah, $300 in one day to virtual explosions. That's cool.
