Breakfast Topic: Classes shakin' their moneymaker
When reader Morthagrid wrote in asking us to discuss the best moneymaking class I first had to read the email twice to confirm he was talking about classes, not professions. Then I sat down and thought about it for a while, days in fact. Which of my characters do I make the most money on? I am quick to respond mage, since she pounds down the mobs fast enough that even gray loot stacks up in sufficient enough quantities to be a financial boon. But she is also my main, so naturally she's going to make more money simply because I play her most. I'd be interested to here what you have to say on the subject. Which class do you think is best at raking in the dough?

If you're interested in running your own game development project, Download Squad has some business advice for you. Covering engines, team-building, documentation, project management, testing, marketing and the all-important "making money", this article is a useful starting point and gives a good idea of what's actually involved in a small-scale game development project. Of course, you'll want to do further research before embarking on such a project yourself.
