There is a certain genre of games called MMO RPG's. Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games is what the letters stand for. In these games there is currency that is used to buy, sell, and even produce items to be used. I found it interesting that there is a site that you can actually buy the currency in the game with real currency if you need it. www.videogamegold.com is that site and you should definitely check it out. Their prices are reasonable, according to my friend, but vary from time to time. It's an interesting spin on gaming.
