US Gamer Becomes First World of Warcraft Millionaire

That's sad.error11

Whilst you use uncanny words like whilst so that people will think you are smart, people who aren't that smart, like me, are still smart enought to know that you need a new vocabulary.Tifa923

Don't you have anything better to do?, like playing with your ds?

It's quoted from the article, but nonetheless, that writer does need a new vocabulary.

Whilst America is suffering an economic downturn, gas prices rise day after day and the dollar weakens under pressure, one American is going against this trend; virtually. An avid Internet gamer from Chicago IL, known only as Jake, has made history by making the largest purchase of "virtual currency" ever reported. He did so through the game World of Warcraft, purchasing 1,000,000 Gold (the game's currency) at a cost of just over $40,000.

Whilst I think this is an amazing story, this surely a "giant leap" too far in gaming addiction. Anyone else ever spent real-money on virtual currency?iitob

And as soon as Blizzard looks to find the account that had 1,000,000 less gold in it a day ago, and bans that account... he's going to find out how bad a move that was.

Games? Who would spend 40 grand on games?

You could buy a really nice car for 40 grand, or pay off a good part of a house or condo. Seriously. What an R TARD!

my question is... is there actually anything to spend that money on?marriage0

40 grand? Oh geez, I would have purchased a convertable BMW instead. Talk about a WoW addict. Elann2008

I would have bought me a Pontiac G8, yes the one with 360 HP stock. :)

It's his money. I'm sure if you had the money, it wouldn't be going towards students or cancer organizations.

If we had that kinda of money we'll probably buy a car if not... Shirts that costs $114 a piece and vacation around the world... I'd beat this guy up if I knew who he was since it looks like he **** gold...

And buying a car doesn't benefit anyone else so you're doing the exact same thing as him. It's just he'd prefer to spend money something he likes (apparently World of Warcraft). I have no doubt he already has a fancy car anyways.

What is the world coming to.

What a wast of life.Poster_11

Don't flame him on how he spends his money, at least his not spending it on illegal drugs or something like that. He probably got millions left anyway.Yorro

id rather spend it on illegal drugs.

100% pathetic. Jake I hope you read this, you are one sad human being

His parents must be proud of him.RK-Mara

Indeed...40k on 1million ingame gold is utter insanity really lol. But atleast the gold seller can take a break because he just hit the jackpot.
