Digital communism! :Q
That article make me ROFL. I applaud the clever fellow, munchkinly indeed.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
No. There is no actual physical money, ever. They are just upset because they gave their extra money to someone who they thought they could trust.
What I don't understand is how they (the people that gave up money) thought he was going to make interest on it.
yet it happens every single day and they dont do crap about it..
he will be selling on ebay watch and see..
there is a legit system inplace to convert that money to real money
the way it works is you purchase timecards using ingame money (fully legit) then you resell those timecards on ebay
at going rate he made about $70k in reallife money if he cashed out

Don't agree with the article's author's judgement that the real world law systems will never take a hand in metering out justice. Wasn't there a judgement once against an mmorpg gamer who stole an item of worth from another player, that required compensation to the victim? Just because something is imaginary, doesn't mean it isn't valuable, and that a court won't see that value. I also vaguely recall a news article about a man killing another gamer over a stolen online sword; pissing off a large amount of people isn't necessarily a winning strategy.
As for the company doing jack squat, I doubt enraged players are good for the bottom line, even if its part of what they signed up for. If you pump hours into an activity, only to have this sort of swindle occur and have the company refuse to police their system, then perhaps you won't be sticking around to invest more of your time and money.

EVE online is a fun game to read about. All kinds of wacked-out epic scale ****** happens in there. I remember seeing an article in some gaming magazine about some insane-scale in-game player-run corporation with a couple of bazillion ISK worth of assets was completely obliterated by in-game assassins turned sabateurs.
The initial contract was for simply the death of the leader of said corporation, for a couple hundred thousand ISK or something. But the target rarely traveled through open space, and was extremely difficult to get anywhere near. So they infiltrated every level of the entire corporation, and the leader of the entire operation went so far as to become the target's best friend and love interest, as well as the second-in-command. At that point, it would have been easy just to blast the target, but they wanted more. They wanted to make a name for themselves. The target happened to own the most ridiculous ship in the entire game - none had ever been killed, or some such other nonsense. The lead infiltrator convinced her to fly it to a meeting, or something, "as a display of the power of the corporation" or some such crap. He took another powerful vessel from the inventory, and set off. Mid-trip, they pulled off the ambush, and destroyed and killed the target with little difficulty, blowing the living crap out of the escape pod and actually ending the player's character.
Simultaneously, lower level operatives stole every single asset and ISK they could get their hands on. And then they collected the balance still due on the contract.
The target's player probably commited suicide, or something.

umm I made 4 Billion this weekend fvcking around in jita
its hard to make in traditional methods when your new in the game but once you get to be in the game for awhile you can use money to make more money so much easier or take the money from people who already made it (which is what I do mainly)
