It is in an online game, see more here
Jeez, this guy must really love his online gaming [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Real money? Jees, that must be one sad guy...

Or then he was really drunk...

Where would someone stupid enough to buy a fictional place find $26000?

ROFL!!! Someone here in Australia bought it!!!
Wow, we really are crazy [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Fortunately, the world is full of ample oppertunities for obviously undeserving individuals to obtain sufficient monies to spend on INCREDIBLY STTOOOOOOOOPID things.

Everytime I begin to have a little faith in the human race again, a story like this comes along. [img]graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, according to the site, the guy actually gets revenue from other people, so this may have been a wise investment.
I cant believe he will actually MAKE money out of this!!!

Hmm... online game with ancient graphics, shady sounding financing scheme... "virtaul" assets in exchange for real ones.

What's to complain about! [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you've got that much money, you might as well spend it on something different.


(Yay, 100 posts :D )

Why can't I come up with these kinds of things?

*SHEESH!*

I could be a gazillionaire by now if just ONCE I could think of something like this before everyone else.

Hmmm...I wonder if I can start selling my dryer lint on eBay. Y'know? That's an idea...Lint Monsters and Dust Bunnies and such.

I'll be back... ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

People have been selling virtual assets for money ever since online gaming got popular. How many people "buy" weapons for Diablo or Everquest on Ebay? I think I remember a story about someone buying an affluent character from someone else in the Everquest world for thousands of dollars.

Well, really, this thing seems more like fantasy football than a video game...people have to pay this person if they play in his "domain" or something like that...I figure, though, it's mostly just a scam to con money out of people...
