Vitual World Real Money

WOW... that is the first thing that comes to my mind after i read this. i can't believe that people actually are paying so much money for this GAME.. it doesn't make any sence to me.. i think someone spent $100,000 in real US dollars... i can thing of REAL things that i can buy for that much money. One thing that is kinda cool about this is that you can make money from other people who like to spend money on this. One man is making about $1,900 a week from other players(RESIDENTS).. I just don't know... i could never see my self spending that much money on a computer game. I mean the game looks like if would be cool to try out and but i don't know how far i would go.. I wonder if some of the people who play this game are just playin because they don't enjoy their life enough and want to start over to become some one else on thier free time... With the possiblity of being able to make money from this maybe helps people to continue to play.. it is really so real life... once you create a character you can do what ever it is that you can ever thing of... The people can have adult relations with ofher people as longs the other adult consents, but i think if you do things that would be illeagle in real life is totally ok on this game... i don't really thing that is very appropriate... i wonder how far this game will go and how popular it will become... i personally don't see my self tryin to do this but i could see people who love computer games like the sims to like to play this game... the man that makes the $1,900 is a stay at home father so he has time for the game but, so mabye others will start up companies online too... who knows i am curious as to how big this company grows in the next few years...
