On: MMO Gaming - Virtually Too Real?

Well, and most interesting part is that some S.Korean Lineage players earn real life money from the game play!!!!! They get some valuable items by slash and hack(the real Player!! or boring NPC..), and sell the things to the rich game players. I heard that some of the people get the money more than 2,000,000 Won (about 1800$) per month from the game. And there is some kind of Playing Lineage Office (it's usually happens at the so called Game Baang, the Game Club.)with employees, more than 10 people, to get the money massively. Usually, the average S.Korean people earn 1,000,000 Won per month from Real Work. it's hard to get the jobs in the S.Korea nowadays. It's ridiculous. And, it IS why MANY of S.Korean people playing that game. I mean, it's connected to the Real Life so tightly. Not only money but the real people relationship and so on. Of course, the 2,000,000 Won per month story is a little bit older ... I think the story is of the 2 or 3 years ago story..but I think it's still going on and on... (PS.Sorry for my poor english, as I knows about Korean story, I'm Korean.)
