Gaining Real Wealth With WoW - 9.5.05

WoW provides the gaming world with an apparently incessant flow of juicy news. If you're interested in reaping the real world benefits of virtual goods hoarded during your WoW play, then you should pay attention to what Gamespot.com reports on the sale of vitual gold through eBay:

According to data gathered by Advanced Economic Research Systems, a company that tracks eBay sales, through April more than $2 million was spent on World of Warcraft (WOW) gold this year. Most of the company's employees are dedicated WOW players, and CEO Anthony Sukow began to examine the statistics after making a questionable purchase of his own.

[...]

Sukow discovered that the top seller of WOW gold made more than $23,000 in April, just on WOW gold. And that wasn't even a good month--in January and February the number-one seller took home more than $44,000 each month.

Forget about making investments at your local bank or at the stock exchange - go and play WoW instead. You can never know when it might pay off.
