Definately insanity. Just like all the other guys in that game, it seems.

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.

And before he makes the money the servers are closed. 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)

What a lame. He's probably unknowingly started a couple real estate companies that'll deal in mmorpgs.

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.
