    Hell: Asher may be there right now!

      Yeah, we've heard about all of this, and many a libertarian creamed their pants over this.

      Btw, can one conquer stuff, and drive him away from his island, in game?

          After all, it's little different from spending thousands of $ for a painting.

          More like buying an unnumbered lithograph by a living artist, dont you think?

                Maybe you can buy your own militia or finance a revolution on his Island... But as it says: it's your own real money that you use...

                For those who do have the $, i guess it can be interesting.

                        Earlier this year economists calculated that these massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have a gross economic impact equivalent to the GDP of the African nation of Namibia.

                            I would love to play these games, but I would get too into it, and slack off in the real world. With real money it's like gambling I think. Even worse.

                                I've seen this game. Someone who spends real money on buying things in a game has problems. This is completely different from buying the game itself.
