My mate is running a server was telling me people go there and pay him money to buy things in the computer game, ie. you program a sword or some shit and you get $50 for it.

Some guy paid $300 to be able to turn in to a pig.

I was thinking of getting involved in exchanging money for nothing.

There's certainly money to be made but not sure how easy it is to enter the market. Apparently you need plugins to the base software and probably some programming yourself on the game to make it swanky enough for people to want to go there. Probably needs developers employing to keep it fresh.

its basically just a sandbox where you can physically do what the chuff you want.

i like to build stuff on there to pass the time, when you get a couple mates on its quite fun mining for diamonds etc.

the developers have introduced an enchanting system where you can get 1000's of different effects for mixing ingredients and then using them you can enchant items to give special abilities and its these items that people are payng for.

this has been around for years and years within the gaming industry, my bro used to play diablo 2 on hardcore and you get better weapons at the end of the game but you only get one life so getting there is a real challenge.. so people were paying him for these ace items which without going on hardcore mode you would NEVER see.

Ive never played minecraft but I'm guessing for the time you could spend on that game that £16 is still better value then 95% of the games you can buy.

Ok that's pretty impressive.

I'm guessing there's a few people on each project though

Guessing it's quite easy to build in the game then, doing things like that over 2/3 days seem quick.
