Believe it or not, it is possible to make money simply by playing computer
games online.
Second Life,is one of a range
of huge and massively multi-player online games,it allows users to buy
in-game currency called Linden dollars (a name derived from its creator,
Linden Labs) with real cash, and later on when you have possibly made some more of these 'Dollars', you exchange any amount amassed within the game back into
real-world funds. Ailin Graef made the headlines in 2006 having claimed that
her in-game avatar, Anshe Chung, had generated enough resources to allow her
to be classified as a millionaire in reality.In other words if she exchanged everything she had into real cash she would have had over a million pounds.
Other prospects include Moola,
which claims to pay players over five million pounds for the straightforward
task of winning thirty of its games in a row. Perhaps tellingly though, the grand
prize is yet to be claimed!
Another hugely popular site is World of Warcraft. or WOW as it is known to its players and fans. Thousands of people play the game online and slowly gain in level and experience. The main objective is to earn as much 'Gold' as you can. People sell these such accounts on auction sites such as eBay and they make hundreds of pounds if you are a good level with plenty of the Gold !
