The Call Girl Character Class

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the insert-joke-about-grinding-levels-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "And you thought stuff like WoW was addictive before? 1UP has posted a story from CGW about the new character class in MMOs: call girl. They interviewed girls who make up to thousands of dollars a week as escorts in the MMO Second Life. The article even sheds light on virtual pimps and a gentleman's club that takes a cut of the action. Said one of the escorts interviewed, 'Based on my personal convictions, which most people would find beyond offensive, I do not set boundaries in Second Life. I'll do anything, and I'll probably do it better than the client expects.'"

    Will the call girl class cry after the first time they level up?

    It's only a matter of time before you have virtual crackwhores whose avatars stumble into your pad, and after they give sex for money, they ask if you want to try a hot new drug called "snow crash".

      [amazon.com]? No, I haven't read that one. Snow Crash is pretty good, though. :)

    With virtual hookers, at least it's only your *computer* that'll get a virus...
