Well a good way to make gold, if you are up to it, is to do champ spawns. The ones in fel give you scrolls and quite a bit of gold. You can set up vendors to sell these scrolls. 120s in magery, eval, archery, resist, bushido can fetch quite a bit. Atleast 5mil for the lowest of the bunch, and upwards of 10mil for the most wanted at the time. But the problem is you have to worry about getting raided, but you have to weigh the risks vs. the payoff. If you want a way to get gold at a spawn without worry of raids, the Ilsh champ spawns drop gold, probably about 100k or so, but no scrolls.
You can do peerlesses, they drop ingredients needed to make items, those can go for quite a decent amount, as well as artifacts that you can sell.
There is the ole hunt and camp out a dungeon. If I am ever in a money making mood, I go to the trogdylite cave, and whack away at them for a while, I can usually make about 100k+ an hour. Ogre Lord Island, you can make similar amounts an hour if you are able to handle the island alone.
Those are just some ideas to ponder.

Peerless fights are kinda like a champ. You have to get "keys" to get to the boss. Lady Melisande, Travesty, Dreadhorn, Lord Paroxymous are some to do. They generally have bout 100k hp and take a group to kill. Look em up on uostuff.com, that will tell you the wherabouts and how to go about doing them. They can be alot of fun, but can be a pain to do sometimes too, if there is a line to get in, as only 1 group can do it at a time, and some groups take FOREVER to complete it.
If you are getting raided alot, go do the spawns out in the middle of nowhere, usually where they arent scouted. Like sanctum, bog, marble. If you are going to despise, destard, terra keep, fire, Ice spawns, of course, they are usually the most scouted. Always bring a necro to see if there is a ghost wandering around, if you see one, 10 bucks says a group of his 20 closest red friends are not far behind.....

Not nearly everyone has that kind of cash piles though, don't be fooled by the more vocal community members. Personally the most gold I've ever had at one time was about 30 million I think, at this time I think I'm around 20 million.
Most friends I know think I'm ridiculously rich, so that says a lot about where they're at.
I'd give some advice too but I don't have any, otherwise I'd have more gold myself. What I have is just accumulated over the last 4 years or so.

Very true. I know of alot of people spending gold on needless stuff. I am of the belief, that I only buy stuff that will benefit combat only. I dont even buy bandaids, food, pots. I loot them off of people, and store them in my house. I have filled about 15 kegs in my house just off the pots. I am a cheap player, but very well off, not in the hundreds of mils, but several dozens. I save my money for the right deals at the very right times..and remember, sell sell sell. Anything you get that is desirable to others, and you dont think you will be needing. Sell it and pocket the gold. You never know what you will need it for later down the road...
