Have it, entered the world about two times. I keep meaning to check it out for a while but never make the time to. I've seen interviews and read accounts of people who make a living in this game. It has a real economy that you're able to use and cash out real $$$. I saw one woman who basically designs clothing for your avatar in the game and makes enough money doing that to the point it's her full time job.
I'm jealous.
All this is why i was asking about this game, cause I read all this stuff to and it is totally crazy. fashion desingers (real life fashion desingers) hold runway shows. real life architechs (sp?) get paid real money to build stuff. and real companies are paying real money to advertise.
I've read about people who can make $40,000 + a year on this site.
