A man in China spent $16,000 for a virtual sword

Right like Chinese are the most addicted to video games lol

this dude spent spent 100K on a virtual space station in Entropia Universe a few years ago.. here is a link to the article.. its on wikipedia also http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4421496.stm


I also seen some epic pvp action on that game too.. since its a legitimate (meaning accepted by Terms of Service) RMT game.. players buy and sell virtual stuff for real money in game.. however since its also ffa pvp.. it means people can gank the shit out of you too..

one dude got ganked for like 160k a bit back.. big pay day for his looters.. (yes you can cash out game currency for $$$)

just sayin' you all need to start putting money up on pvp red >_>

I'm sure there are worse video game decisions out there.. but entropia is the one i remember when i looked into it a few years ago.
