2nd Life


Maybe I'm just getting old or something but am intrigued by the real estate market in 2nd Life. 2nd Life is an online society in a 3D world, users explore, build, socialize, and participate in the online economy. This online world has a functioning world cash economy with one US Dollar equating to 250 Linden Dollars. Exchange can be made via Paypal and back again into US $.
Thousands of players have made real world money out of their Second Life businesses which include virtual clothes design, vehicle production etc. (I wonder if there is a virtual tax collector).
There are currently around 200,000 players who regularly meet or run virtual businesses, anything that involves interaction! The mind boggles! A gamer in the Entropia Universe, another virtual community, also made headlines and the record books, when a virtual space station was sold for $100,000 (£56,200).
Well, whilst ploughing through Ebay I found this. A Cornish Conversion, this former stone barn complex comes complete with scripted curtains (controllable by several dimmer switches), scripted locable doors, stone fireplace and chimney, fully fitted kitchen and even a huge mod/copy furniture pack. £7.65. I'll be mortgage free if I move in!
