Mine went well. I'd never focused on accumulating gold but I had always had "some." I would make it and then mostly spend it.
At the start of 2013 I had 200-300k total distributed around various toons as a result mostly of working hard at crafting during the first 2-3 weeks of the expansion. Around then I decided I would like to get to 1M total (Altoholic) gold. And as of last week I did. I will finish out the year at around 1.1M total.
I'd be happy and interested to chat about it and hear what y'all are up to also.
