Blizzard Drops the Hammer on Gold Farmers

evviva writes "Blizzard has kept its word and finally closed over one thousand accounts related to gold-farming and character sales. It was about time!" The post reads: "Over the recent weeks we have been investigating the activities of certain individuals who have been farming gold in order to sell it in exchange for real world currency. After researching the situation, we have issued permanent suspensions to over one thousand accounts that have been engaging in this practice. We do not condone such actions and will take decisive action as they are against our policy and damage the game economy as a whole.""

Dude, that's total BS. Of course the government could make money off of MJ if it was legalized, it would be taxed just like cigarettes or alcohol.

I signed up for the 7 day trial of Second Life

After running (and flying) around the various zones I came to a simple conclusion: it's one big shopping mall. There's absolutely no gameplay. Of course, there are properties you can go to and play slot machines. There may even be some "really interesting stuff" somewhere but no-one has a chance of finding it in 7 days. In a way it's kinda funny. The best way people could make money in Second Life would be to show people on their 7 day trial around the world. Of course, no-one does that.
