Online PC Game turning into Virtual Reality

Read an article today on Virtual Trading today in Star InTech. A player in China kill his friend in real world because the friend sold the "Treasure" he found in the Online Game, which he has lent to him for money value of RM3,300 on an Auction Site.

The Virtual Reality we used to watch on Movie is coming true in todays world. One of my friend called Stanley is having business on Virtual Trade that bring good Revenue and Profit. They source the "Item or Treasure" of some online games like WOW(World of WarCraft), Lineage II, etc from China, and sell them online to main US, Europe players.

Surprisingly, they are a group of people in China called "Farmers" who are hired to play games days and nights to look for the "Item and Treasure". These items are collected and wholesale in bulk to the Reseller mainly in English Speaking country. Stanley sell the items online @ http://www.offgamers.com and oso @ ebay.

Perhaps, players can express themselves more freely in the game with the super power that is impossible to gain in the real world. This will provide players a strong sense of achievement. Stanley told me that, there are even a gang of players team up to protect those area where u can get the powerful weapons or the block the gateway so that u have to pay virtual golds to get pass. Virtual gold has Hard Currency Value as well. You can sell those virtual gold in auction place in exchange for CASH.

Another even more unbelievable thing is, there is a guy called David Storey, bought a virtual land for USD26,500 in a game called Project Entropia. And, of course there is a title for the land just as real land. Guess what? he has some investors behind him to fund his purchase.

He said:" I do believe the purchase has challeged people's perceptions and blurred the border between the real and virtual worlds, and I also believe that this will be reinforced once we have demonstrated that it actually work."

Wow, what a statement, perhaps i should check out the Project Entropia... and Welcome to the Virtual Reality Age... Imagine your children make more money than u in the game when he is just 10 in the future..... hahaha.. that's possible.
