This guy spent $100,000 on a virtual space station and predicts he can make over $1.6 million a YEAR from it.

yeah, quite weird at first thought, but seeing they use real world money to buy stuff in that game, it\'s quite genious imo

I mean, it\'s just a virtual market, but with real world money.

I don\'t get it, thats a game or what? And it uses real world money?

[NoXious]

yeah basically you can convert money in the game to real money and real money into money in the game. Was looking round and its like a little world, some people are miners and sell ores to pay for other stuff. Where as some people are craftsman who sell things they make to pay for the ores. Then you get the millionaires who just buy and sell everything and own land and property and rent it out to hunters and would be salesman. This is the future of MMORPG\'s
