Hi gamers, I found this quite interesting. I was listening to On Screen from the BBC World Service, and their was a feature in their about how people sell virtual items in multi-player online games for real money! What I mean is, say now some of us were playing a strategy game. I've managed to accumulate many weapons, and huge wealth. I then go onto ebay and put my game-acumulated wealth up for auction, and a person who wants prestige in the game buys it from me with cash! They say their are now game players who deliberately just collect certain items and large stocks to sell for cash. They say it's actually become a million-dollar industry. I suppose players would be furious if the developer reset the server! It's nearly about as weird as that guy who's selling land on the moon. Ari
