      Never even heard of that game and somehow he managed to spend over $47,000 on it.

      If I was the kid I would jack the account and sell the damn thing and give most of the money to the stepmom.

          You are kidding right? Those 20 bucks I pay on a monthly basis have prevented me from buying that ticket to the space station I always wanted to buy.


          Damn you SE! If it wasn't for you I'd be like 400 bucks closer to the 25 million I need for the trip!!

                  Really curious if there's really that many items to buy..... $47k sounds really extreme to be spent on game items o_O; Maple story for example. Most items are under $15 each. Buying stuff off RMT? Still sounds a lot.

                  How old is his dad I wonder.

                    I lol'd.

                    If FlyFF wasn't so crappy I might feel sorry for the guy, I feel sorry for his family, but the father deserves everything coming to him.

                      That is pathedic. I can't understand paying cash for ingame items from the same company that sets how hard it is to earn the items no less.

                      I can just see the billboard "Just say no. RMT ruins lives". :+D

                            Knowing how Cash Shop MMOs (Aka, Korea's definition of "Free") work, he probably bought a lot of those items and sold them for in game currency to further his character, not to use the items himself.

                            Although they can get fairly expensive, i've never seen one that would make you spend more than about 200$ for EVERYTHING in the shop, and a lot of that cost is 30-70$ for Equipment sets, which are generally permenant.
