Virtual Baggage, Real Bucks
from the people-need-help dept
Okay, some people really need to get a life. Here's yet another article about people selling their online game characters for serious money. They mostly talk about EverQuest (more commonly known as EverCrack) characters and equipment. It seems that some people are actually making a living selling equipment and characters to people for real money (and sometimes lots of it). Sony has tried to prevent EverQuest sales, but it doesn't seem like they're doing a very good job. Other gaming companies don't care as much. Maybe I should give up this whole Techdirt thing and play online video games for fun and for profit.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
