We live in a world were money has almost become totally digital. In the online game Second Life, players trade online money for money in real life by designing items and other things for other players. I was just wondering what would happen if people started putting a price on DP. i.e: I'll give you 1,000 DP if you send me an online gift card for iTunes for 10$. Any ideas or thoughts on anything related to this?

Hopefully this won't happen because you can't do too much with dps. Many people with a lot of dp just share without getting anything in return.

Yes, but when this game goes non-Beta (If it ever does) people will want to have as much DP as possible. And as the demand goes up, will people be able to sell DP? There are whole companies in Japan that are devoted to playing World of Warcraft for people and getting them lots of gold. Who's to say that this won't happen for PMOG, which is actually more convenient than any mass multiplayer game created.

Pixie is already mining and grinding for dps - she lives in a small box in Japan and is only let out once a week for fresh water.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

People are already grinding DPs with macros/scripts. How else do you explain someone attaining level 5 within 1 day of being registered. There is no way they could have visited the 3500 or so unique domains required without using some sort of automation.

yeah, changing dp in real cash is a great idea for us addicts who already can't live without pmog anymore.

with the real money for example you could visit the real shoppe and buy a real mine that autarchically grabs money from someone's pocket when he's just tripping on it..

..or just some portals to redirect unsuspecting people to your living room.

GREAT!

@Pencil Learn to code, and write your own. Seriously, it's just not in the spirit of the game to ask for a grinding script in public. Please don't do that here...

@Zerlin first of all, just type in random words

Second, the ratio of 1000:10 is illogical, I could make approximately that amount in less than an hour by means of the previous statement. Alors, that was a nice documentary though, watched it twice.
