WoW Gold selling may be illegal on pretty much every big name MMO but that does not stop people from make serious cash of the virtual tender.
My MMO Shop was apparently just sold for $10 million
WoW Gold big ones by My MMO Inc., a private firm established at the end of last year specifically to buy My MMO Shop. I guess business is not just big in the Asian market as My MMO Shop is located in the USA and Australia. You can read the full press release over at Yahoo!
My MMO Shop is only rated as the #3 Real Money Trading site in overall sales. Imagine how much the two higher ranked sites are pulling in cash wise and what they could sell for. Currently business in the U.S. alone is hauling in over 2 billion a year in revenue about
WoW Gold.
I find it pretty amazing that sales of these businesses occur like this out in the open yet there is nothing the developers and publishers can do to shut them down from
WoW Gold? How is that possible? If they know the business, name, location, etc. why can not they take them to court to prevent them from dealing in their games goods?
I definitely see this being worse than MMO Glider for instance and Blizzard was able to win against them in court on the basis of a EULA violation. Seems a similar ground could be used to shut down these businesses though each and every publisher they service would probably have to pursue them individually about
cheap wow gold.
Have any of you ever bought virtual currency for any of your MMOs? Is this looked down upon as much as botting?
I wonder if we have ever ran adds for those guy here, lol. I know we have had complaints in regards to gold adds on the site before.
