Virtual spaceships sell for a total $26,500 in MMO

No, that's not a typo and no, this isn't an EVE Online story. Three virtual pirate motherships were told for a staggering total of $26,500 yesterday in Entropia Universe, an MMO developed by NEVERDIE Studios.

Wtf? people are so stupid, do you know how much weed i could buy with 26k? alot, thats how much, and id put it to good imaginative/creative use

[malamdra]

[Guitarded]

Not sure who's more stupid, the owner of the "virtual" ships, the druggie, or the "john". I call it a toss up.

[subtenko]

Reminds me of the I Am Rich iphone app that was $999.99 and 8 people bought it. then it was pulled from the store

[Ser]

You guys are disagreeing with the fact that I can't wait to play Dust 514? Silly disagree fairies.

[Raider69]

Tomorrow the space ships get bomb away!This guy haves a price on his head at the moment.

[Bounkass]

Lol.

Used to play this quite a bit.

Pop in about £5 per month (depending on how long you can stretch it out) and you can have some fun.

Classic example of "A fool and his money are soon parted.."

[Dasteru]

Classic example of not understanding the game, an investment is an investment whether its in real life or not. The last major purchase this guy made in the game was a bank that he paid about 150k for and within the first year doing buisness with it made back over 2mil. who's the fool now.

Give it 6 months and he will probably have already made back so much money off space tourism and taxi fairs between worlds, that 26k will look like pocket change.

[Guitarded]

I was unaware of this.

I ammend my first comment.

The druggie and the john are stupid. The owner of the virtual ships is a good businessman.

[ViserysTargaryen]

Don't hate just because you can't afford to throw away money at pointless things.

[BIXOMAU]

To anyone claiming this guy is "stupid", "sad", "retard" or a "fool", take a look at http://www.guardian.co.uk/t... or http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

This guy has made thousands playing the game and has lived off of it for years.

I dont think he's any of the above.
