Become Rich Selling Virtual Property

Want to become rich?  Try playing an MMORPG and selling the "pixels".  Apparently one of these guys was making something on order of 6 - 8 million a year selling virtual property.  (Although he is said to have "cheated" and not used normal techniques for obtaining the items. i.e. duplicate virutal money through a bug in the game etc etc)

Right, wrong or indifferent it seems to be a big industry.

Our society is absolutely bizarre in its priorities.

If you want to buy absolutely worthless and meaningless bullsh*t like a character in an online RPG, you have the means to do so. If you demand to have a cell phone that flosses your butt and contains embedded Windows XP plus a built in webcam, it's prolly out there with great incentives for signing on...

Affordable health insurance or even a decent job? Dream on! ROTFL! Nobody needs that sh*t! Ha!

I read an interview with someone who sold exotic pets for a lot of money in The Sims Online (but in reality was just selling empty pet carriers) and used that money to build a Playboy Mansion.

I don't think she got any real money for it, but I could be wrong.
