While virtual worlds have offered spending of real money on virtual items before it has never been on this scale or this frightening. Behemoth virtual world game, Second Life is now offering users who don’t have credit cards the option to convert Ukash cash vouchers into Second Life currancy, Linden Dollars. Chief Executive Officer at Ukash, Mark Chirnside said this concerning the success of the trading scheme:
“Over $6 million were traded at LindeX, Second Life’s currency exchange during the second quarter of 2007, and nearly 100m residents of the virtual world have premium membership that allows them to buy and sell land within Second Life so there’s a new and booming economy that we’re pleased to be opening up to the cash consumer,”
Marriages ruined, lives wasted and jobs lost can only increase exponentially from here.
