Title: Re: Gamer buys $26,500 virtual land Post by: Izret101 on December 19, 2004, 05:04:24 AM So what happens when people stop playing this game and he has his $25k island?
I hope he loses all his money and ends up on the streets. And por people beat him up when they hear how he lost his money.

It's insane to invest in something where someone else can completly destroy you're investment by pluging out the game. Yesit's always a risk, but I think this is really stupid. Anyway I neverheard of the game, and I think I don't like the capitalist crap from it. Making profit on other players?, the only online rpg i played was PSO and I liked it ebcause you ad to work together instead of making profit over each other (although the mentality online went down with the time)

Title: Re: Gamer buys $26,500 virtual land Post by: Lord Nepenthean on December 20, 2004, 08:46:46 AM Did he buy this from the makers of the game or from some other person? One way or another, whoever sold this is probably laughing right to the bank.
Title: Re: Gamer buys $26,500 virtual land Post by: Zimbacca on December 20, 2004, 11:36:52 AM I would be doing the same thing.
