One of the main problems that MMO developers have to face is the illegal trade ingame. Whether it's gold sellers as "smuggling" of objects, the uncontrolled sale is usually in the spotlight moderators and developers, as any complication in the same direct impact on them and the good name of the title in question.





Since the sale of unique weapons in Diablo II Battle.net, players have seen this optical business as varied as their own conscience, but some have taken advantage of the situation, establishing business models within the legal and taste worldwide.

A great example of this initiative is the title Online Entropia, a game that mixes equal parts to develop a virtual community with the elements of an MMORPG to use. Entropia, aware of the commercial like some users, devised an economic system in which money was ingame real value out of it. Users can get a job or start their own business to deliver real benefits, as well as speculate on virtual goods in pursuit of even higher future earnings.

The game in question already had the record of having sold the most expensive virtual item ever, a private island for $ 100,000, but this record has recently been overcome. The user a few hours ago Buzz "Erik" Light year has been done, after a long auction, with the most expensive new item of gaming history.

$ 330,000 for the player has taken ownership of the space station Crystal Palace, located on the planet Calypso. This location, however, is not only a play space, but a great opportunity to earn lucrative income. Apparently the said profit serves as a hub of trade in-game, so thanks to its acquisition, the user will get a certain percentage of each transaction is made in the game.

In this way, as if it were equity shares, the object property in question serve as alternative source of income in the long term, recovering their investment in a period shorter or longer but for the moment stable.
