MMO Gold Farming
According to a report published at BBC’s site , MMO Gold is a $500 million industry that employs about 400,000 people in developing world countries like China.
Professor Richard Heeks, head of the development informatics group at Manchester who wrote the report, said gold farming had become a significant economic sector in many developing nations.
“I initially became aware of gold farming through my own games-playing but assumed it was just a cottage industry,” said Professor Richard Heeks from the University of Manchester who wrote the report.
“In a way that is still true. It’s just that instead of a few dozen cottages, there turn out to be tens of thousands.”
