Ive been building a list of Real Cash Economy MMOs and I was wondering if anyone knows some ive missed.  I use google, webcrawler and bing everyday, and usually search around forums but I am sure I have missed alot.  This is my list :

    Check out Afterworld in the game section. I think it's from Russia.

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    Here is one I just found...

    Kwari

    It is a first person shooter where every time you hit another player you get money, and every time you get hit, you loose it.  Unfortunately it is not registering at the moment.  Why cant COD have this option?

    IMVU.

    And, doesn't eve allow for players to make money?

    Also, League of Legends has a real world cashable auction house right?

    Might want to look at first meta exchange as well, They are long standing exchangers/buyers/sellers of IMVU, Second Life (I think torishbash to) currencies. It not an MMO itself but it is pertinent.

    ...There is also Active Worlds. Made back in 95' and still running today, It's a lot like second life accept overall far less advanced. It's users sell 3d models to world builders/owners on active worlds. And, AWI recently instituted a cash shop for it's user to be able to make items for. But, last I checked it is not fully operational yet.

     

    Btw, like the idea of the list. Some people will be looking for just that, and I am certain it will be helpful gj.

    Thank you very much, and also thank for the person who mentioned Afterworld, I am looking into that as well.   So far I have only added Kwari and Marketglory, ProEconomica is on my list as well but the game play is buggy.  Also I heard lately that Diablo might have a cash auction in game although I am not sure at this point if I am limiting my list to F2P.

    Okay well IMVU does not really count, it only lets you deposit in and while transactions can be made for cash they are from a third party system.  I am essentially only listing games that have an in game feature to A)sell for cash, or B)change in game currency to real currency.

    I am always amazed that these games exist.  They are almost operating like a bank.

    Thanks,

    Actually they operate as full fledged financial institutions, in fact in a lot of the Empire Sims you can open your own bank, charging daily interest not only on in game currency but real currency.  On top of that there is usually a stock market and a forex allowing you to trade not only game shares, but shares of companies players own and also play the fluctuations of currency.  To tell you the truth it is not that different from the Nasdaq or the NYSE, cause lets be honest, when we buy stock at like 25x Price to earnings and then it goes up, I mean honestly, that is just as real as what these games do.  But if that really is not your style you can play the market in the RPG type games as well.  Everytime you buy an item, a weapon, or armor, or ammo or some custom good, you are also betting that the item will rise in price on that server.  Granted if it doesn't you still get to use it but still, it all depends on how you look at it.

    So recently I have gotten alota good feedback about these type of games so I am posting again to say thank you and please keep it coming. My list has expanded and I have begun adding tips where I can as I learn. Any info about new, old or in development games is welcome.

    They are casino games plain and simple, its just unregulated as of yet that's how they are getting away with it for now.

    Perfect World International and every game they own to my knowledge allows for gold selling for real money and versa in game.

    Where is Second Life?
  • ariesxwariesxw Member Posts: 12

    The List has continued to expand, and while I understand some f the concerns people have about real cash games I can personally vouch that I have earned over $3000 this year just by playing.  It is not exactly unregulated either.  If that is your first assumption maybe you should take a minute read my news feed.  Either way I have gotten a lot of very good feedback so far in regards to this list so I invite you all to view it again and give me a heads up if I missed anything.
