A Gamer Has Spent $26,500 on Virtual Property
A 22-year-old gamer has spent
$26,500 (￡13,700) on an island that exists
only in a computer role-playing game (RPG).
The Australian gamer, known only by his
gaming moniker Deathifier, bought
the island in an online auction.
The land exists within in a RPG which allows
thousands of players to interact
with each other.The virtual island includes
a gigantic abandoned castle and
beautiful beaches which are described as ripe
for developing beachfront property.
According to http://www.gameusd.com ,a game
money price research site,this is almost
the biggest transaction in the virtual
world untill now.
"This is a historic moment in gaming history,
and this sale only goes to
prove that massive multi-player online gaming
has reached a new plateau,"
someone said. :eek:
