Very very interesting. I know people buy and sell "homes" in UO (I played it in 1999) but I guess the market has EXPLODED since then. Here in the Philippines, people actually exchange REAL money for online money for a game called RAGNAROK.


Choice quote: "Since 1998, the second-party market for MMORPG loot has steadily grown. Last year alone, this newfound industry grossed roughly $500 million, according to Bob Kiblinger of UOTreasures. CGW decided it was high time to go underground and find some of the key players who are going after a piece of the action."
