Time Is Money

Start with a handful of Copper Bolts. See how far "just one more upgrade" takes you.

Time Is Money brings a goblin business to your World of Warcraft Forever interface. Make Copper Bolts, sell your stock, automate production, and reinvest your profits, with Gazlowe as your animated Director and enthusiastic supporter of questionable ambition.

Inspired by Universal Paperclips, it starts with a simple workshop and gradually reveals new systems, projects, and opportunities. Your business may grow beyond its original job description.

From Copper Bolts to Big Business

• Make and sell: Turn Copper Bars into handfuls of Copper Bolts. Adjust prices to balance demand and revenue.
• Automate production: Put Whirring Bronze Gizmos to work and keep the materials flowing.
• Grow the company: Run sales campaigns, earn Board Trust, and decide where to invest.
• Develop the Ledger: Generate Operations and Ingenuity to unlock projects and improve your business.
• Discover what comes next: New mechanics unfold as you progress. A successful workshop is only the beginning.

A Warcraft Workshop

Recognizable Warcraft items and icons give your growing operation its goblin flavor: Copper Bars, Whirring Bronze Gizmos, Thorium Widgets, Arcane Crystals and more, each with a tooltip saying what it does for the company. Every button and panel explains itself on hover, and anything you can't afford yet tells you where the missing resource comes from.

Company funds and materials are entirely simulated. Time Is Money never touches your gold, your bags, your professions or the Auction House.

Getting Started

• Type /tim start to found your company. The ledger and a short help page open.
• After that, /tim or a click on the minimap button opens and closes the ledger (right-click: settings). The company keeps working while the window is closed.
• /tim pause stops the company until you resume it.
• Progress is saved when you log out or /reload. A crash or forced close can lose progress since the last save, and nothing is produced while you are offline.

Commands: /tim, /tim start, /tim pause, /tim settings, /tim reports, /tim minimap, /tim help

Settings: Gazlowe's 3D model or a portrait, his voice, the report sound, the minimap button, the window scale, and a new game.
