Wow.

Just, wow.

Wow because the GDP of this virtual world is $64 million, which ranks it second to last in the world. A place that doesn't even exist is ranked above a real country. I figured it was merely the volume of people spending $2 here, $5 there, but boy was I wrong...

It seems there are quite a few users in the game who have put in nearly HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. I'm probably about 45% nerd, 45% hunk and 10% beard, but that nerd part in me can't sympathize with the people operating that way in this game. Granted, there is an opportunity to make a significant amount of money as well, but who has $500,000 to invest in a startup company in a non-existent world? Not me.
