In my opinion, only playing this game normally is basically the definition of being poor. Things that
might get you out of being poor include being able to get credits some other way, such as:
- running Hentai@Home
- selling Gold Stars
- fulfilling bounties
- dropping a PHOH or PSWD
- using feminine charm to entice males to keep giving you credits
- having a buddy give you lots of credits
It depends how much credits you get for each of these, though.
If you play the game normally but diligently (having high turn/second helps) you don't have to be
ultra poor, at least. You get poorer by leveling up too fast without making enough credits for equipment upgrades. This can happen if you buy gold star too early, or don't have time to play and level up through dawns. I skip most dawns, and all dawns when I'm inactive.
Those who played the game effectively and avoided stars, while still playing extremely diligently and often, won't seem that poor eventually. This is because for whatever given level they are at, they will have put more work into the game, and they are rewarded for it. But this alone won't make them rich; that requires outside credits.
By the way I recently lost my "high" bandwidth (2.5 turns/second) internet connection due to irrational ISP cost, so there's zero chance I can run H@H now. I never tried it before anyway due to having a limited PC resource and for location reasons, as was advised.
My new 20 MBPS connection (which costs the same as my previous one) has only lost ~0.1 turns/second though, which is pretty good considering that a few years ago I only had 1 turns/second. I guess my internet speed upgrades had been more on the backbone side and maybe independent of ISP.
