Virtual island sold for $26500 |

A property in the swedish MMORGP-game Project Enthropia was sold for $26500 not long ago.
Project Enthropia is a MMORGP-game where real money can be freely exchanged for virtual money and back again. If you want to buy something in the game, you can use your debetcard to make sure your character can afford it. If you have made good money from performing tasks or dealing with other players, you can exchange that money for real money and spend it on something useful, like upgrading your PC.
The Swedish developers held an auction where the players could bid on a big treasure island in the game. This island is 6000 acres, and has a unique castle (no furniture included) and areas dedicated to mining and hunting. The winner of the auction, Zachurm "Deathifier" Emegen, paid US$ 26500 to make sure he became the owner of the virtual property.
Now he can issue taxes for everyone who lives or works on the island, and may sell parts of it to other players, if that is what he wants. The sixty properties on the island alone have an estimated value higher than what he paid, so he obviously hopes that the investment will pay off in the future.

You would have to reach a new and scary level of nerdyness to actually consider spending that amount of money on a computer game. |
