Selling virtual (video game) items for real money?

Yes this has took off quite recently in the last 2-3 years. I play UO and its ruined the game and made people scam not only for RL wealth but sadly enough virtual wealth too, and sell stuff on ebay for there own greed
Someone i know played SWG and he duped lots of money and items, he made about �5k ... so it can even beat working, albeit duping is illegal in-game but that is a hefty "reward" to outweight the loses really

The point of playing a game is o challenge and entertain yourself. What's the point of challenging yourself when you can buy your way through?

Alot of people nowadays are hopelessly addicted to video games. I remember last year in class, we were supposed to design a flag and write a paragraph about what mattered to us the most. One person wrote, "I would die for my Playstation 2."

Umm..

I know somebody who made a few thousand dollars buying and selling EQ characters, then bought a nice computer system and went to Vegas.

But a lot of people (such as myself) make a living in the digital world -- so selling digital stuff isn't a big deal.

I just wish I could buy pizza and have it delivered through the internet on demand. Some day they'll laugh about the pizza guy having to actually drive it your house. How quaint.
