  • Gold Farming is illegal in China as of ... now

    China Bans Gold Farming -- InformationWeek

    "... the Chinese government has declared that virtual currency cannot be traded for real goods or services.
    ...
    "The virtual currency, which is converted into real money at a certain exchange rate, will only be allowed to trade in virtual goods and services provided by its issuer, not real goods and services," the Ministries said"

    This should do absolutely nothing, but it's still sort of interesting.

        Off-topic: You can't abbreviate an acronym to put it in another acronym, can you? Does that semi-abbreviation of words, such as Meripo, have a name?

            Technically you can do anything you want with an acronym. GNU - Gnu is not Unix.

                Yeah, look up recursive acronyms (like Mhurron hinted at), RAS/PNS syndrome, and syllabic abbreviation.

                On topic, hello indian goldfarmers.

                  They'll probably just continue trading out of Hong Kong and ignore any directives from mainland China.

                    Hmmm... Rmting becomming illegal in china? Maybe thats why the prices have been dropping... Last three days went from 26 to 16 for 1 mil. Probably trying to sell their stocks before they get caught.
                    Heheheheh... Cant wait...

                    that is if they actually do stuff for this. Omg, think of how much better the economy will get(In game), and when FFXIV comes out... no having to worry about RMTS!

                    But if like what Feba said... >.< {No thanks.}

                      there are still a good few RMT, based out of the states, so it wont all be gone, but if this really does go through like it should, yeah about 85% or so will be SOL

                          this might get rid of the big fish but the little ones will swim around beneath the radar and keep on going. It'll just be all black market and crooks now...like it wasn't before XD

                            Well Korea and Japan RMT markets are not closed. If anything they just got a boost because no more competition.

                              But there wil be less RMTs/Botts to compete against to get HNMS, and other iteme like pop items or farming botts.
