The MMORPG Economy
July 5, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
It’s amaising how people will pay real money for objects in games, but then again I suppose that’s the market economy. Why would I go and spend 10 boring hours question for a sword when I can pay some guy from China $3. Why would I go fight the stupidest monsters for countless hours just for gold, when I can buy it for pennies to hours of my time.
People are lazy, people need money, as long as both those things are true there will be an online economy. Diablo 3 will just add to the pile of MMORPGs that people buy stuff for. WoW gold has become the most popular thing for chinese gold farmers, but who knows what will happen with future game releases.
