Virtual Trading: Investing in the Virtual World

MMORPG service provision is the practice of distributing virtual currencies, items and services for real-world profit. From the lowly Chinese workshop to high-tech offices of internet entrepreneurs, virtual money has become a hot commodity. Those competing in the real-money trading industry include dedicated professionals to part-time players, big-city businesses to the bedroom entrepreneur. Millions of players across the globe provide custom for RMT websites that are becoming some of the most search for site on the search engines.
Real-Money Trading has seldom had the attention of worldwide media and when it has it's been focused on the most extreme or mainstream examples. However, the aims and methods of the industry are well known to the players of World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI (FFXI), EVE Online and EverQuest 2. A prime example is in the World of Warcraft where gamers journey through numerous dungeons, quests and scenarios in order to stuff their coffers with the game's currency. Many gamers decide to spend their hard-earned currency on themselves, but some decide to approach the task like a business, utilizing any means necessary to bolster their reserves of currency and sell it on for real cash.
MMORPG creators rarely agree with or tolerate the practice of in-game trading. Purist gamers object that the practice of real-for-virtual exchange harms the economy of the game and violates the spirit of gameplay by introducing monetary influence. The problem of hacking, phishing and fraud do exist within the industry, but it is restricted to a minority of rogue companies. Whilst some action has been taken by game developers, it has never been directly targeted at the transaction of company to customer.
The concept of real-money trading is one that has got many investors excited and interested. Opportunity is not just limited to the USA and Europe; countries such as South Korea and Japan also have vibrant RMT industries. A bright future lies ahead with new opportunities available in yet unreleased titles, the most promising of which being Warhammer Online.
