When i started playing MMORPG game eve-online i found interesting thing:
"Game requers monthly payment, but you can also buy a time code for GAME money"
This collapse turned me to think some ... and i decided to try find some information about trading game's goods for real money like selling ships and converting Game money to Real cashe...
And ... You'll not trust me! I found it... Posted Image
There a lot of people who don't want to train their characters or earn game money in game process... they gonna pay real cashe for all of it... Posted Image

In a conclusion:
Ebay trades are good to sell game items Posted Image ( www.ebay.com )
Specialized sites are online and they are trading game things for many online Role Playing games Posted Image ( www.ige.com )

In a word there is a way to combine playing and earning money Posted Image

The governments of many nations take this process of making real money as offensive, some nations have already banned it,some have stated it to be liable to taxation and others are planning for execution of stern steps against such a practice. Source-Wikipedia

Hmm well, I think you can earn money with this yes. But If I create an character and get it levelled so that it is sellable, then I wouldn't want to lose that character anymore.
So I dont think this is an option for me. but great idea (if it works)...

I've seen this attemptive source of income in:
-Ragnarok Online
-Gunbound
-Project A3
-Eve Online

and probably numberous of other games, so yeah, this type of income exists and will only be thickened by time, wait till you can buy a lvl100 ragnarok online char for 5bucks :)

Selling characters.... Hmm... Nice idea but you will need to organize real characters farm to grow them up and train... But... why the hell you gonna sell your own character if he can earn stable money for you every day, every hour and every minute IF YOU PLAY FOR HIM Posted Image

For example in Eve-Online character trained while 1.5 month can became a good miner which can give you 50 mill ISK per day (3-4 hours of game) His skill will help him to drive better ships and use better mining stuff Posted Image

And this way will give you 50 mill ~ 13 bucks per day Posted Image

One more task for characters farm.... Game costs money for online play... for example 30 days ~ 15 bucks... and if you will train characters for 2-3 months and will sell them for 60+ $????
It's sucks....

If you think that i'm wrong post your suggestions

Working part time at a minimun wage job will make you much more money than sitting at a computer and spending endless hours leveling up a char for sale. But if someone actually has fun doing this... then this might be a decent idea.

Yeah...it sounds cool...

But like previous posters said, if leveled up the character, I would have a really hard time parting with it. Maybe when I plan on quitting the game it would be a good diea, but definitly not asource of income. Too low and impratical in my opinion..no offence...

Hehe Posted Image What can i say.... so what the hell is the reason for this forum? "Making Money Online" Posted Image If you always can "Working part time at a minimun wage job" Posted Image
But as for me i'm studing at the univercity for 6-8 hours per day and working after univercity at the IT company for 3-4 hours.... but anywhere i can get access to internet and practically half day at univercity/work i'm working on PC ... why i can't run one more process in background? Especially if this process can give me fun and money Posted Image

I think it's the common thing for all types of online money making (exclude referal systems Posted Image

Just sell Premium accounts and offer some prize for the 1° place (if there is a ranking), which will give only for a player who has a premium account :blink: if the first place isn't, give it to the second place, if the 2° is not give it to the 3°... and if you sell alot of accounts, you can give prizes for the 2° and 3°, its a good tatic :)
