It is not uncommon for fanatic World of Warcraft players to buy virtual items such as WOW gold, artifacts and other stuff with real dollars just to boost their character. Advanced players make a killing by selling their characters once they’ve gone up 50 levels or higher with prices that sometimes could reach up to $3,000PHP 176,057INR 254,249EUR 2,857CNY 21,835 or more. One could really make a killing out of this. (Take for example the contextual ads found on this page. They’re all full of golds for sale.) Talk about WOW farming.
But a hobby that has apparently become a sideline could very well be an enterprise in itself. Reports of a company in Cebu that’s recruiting locals to play MMOG for a fee has been going around blogs like the PTB and Max Limpag.
These professional gamers for hire are tasked to build characters or acquire items and then are sold to other gamers in the west. A lucrative business indeed. They’re apparently paying Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241 per player per month. That’s enough playing hours to build a good character or acquire enough items that could fetch as much as $2,000PHP 117,371INR 169,500EUR 1,905CNY 14,557 or more.
Blizzard categorically states that this is not allowed but whoever said one can’t do it anyway? It’s an ethical question with online gaming but with real-world implications. *kaching!*

The Doc says:
I love WOW, but no way in hell I’d pay $2000 for a character made by someone else! The whole point of it is to create and nurture your character over time…
Fleeb says:
This happened in Ragnarok Online. Alleged Gamemasters even sell items for up to 20k and characters sold too.
Andre says:
Supply and Demand, there is a demand, and plenty of supply. Filipinos probably arent willing to pay for such things but to other people they are.
Kates says:
That practice is also prevalent in Ragnarok Online. Some items fetch for Php 10k. It’s not fun anymore playing the game knowing that somebody who played for a couple of days can pound you into oblivion.
Andre says:
time spent = money
Abe Olandres says:

Lookie says:
.. but I guess having vast amounts of resources (gold) to ‘nurture’ your character(s) over time (which is relatively shorter to those with only 2gp on their purses) is verry very tempting to other players, especially those with real money to burn. In fairness, not everyone does it.
