From Gold Farmers to Virtual Realtors

Filed under: Virtual Property, Second Life — timwang @ 10:31:26 pm

Remember this article on Chinese Gold Farmers where people are playing games 24/7 to “dig” gold and treasure out of on line multi-player games? Well, I think re-organizing the talented players to develop virtual properties in Second Life and then sell them to the Americans would be much more profitable. Think about it, while there are thousands of western individuals make a living by buying empty land, developing the land and then selling the land, why not officially start a company in India or China to do formal development in SL where the labors are much cheaper! There is my business idea of the month! I wonder if there have been people doing things like this... Gonna go do some digging...

LOL, guess what?! This idea has been long implemented by Anshe. Read the amazing story! The lady is originally from China and she has a studio in Hubei China where two dozen of local developers are doing virtual realty development in SL. I knew about anshechung.com, but didn't know their developers are in China. Brilliant people...
