Can virtual currency buy real goods in other countries? I’m curious about the state of the virtual currency worldwide Sites such as http://www.mmogsale.com are USA based and the games they sell are USA based, granted a majority of the supply there is from players in the USA some comes from China gold farms…

I do not see this happening… Seeing as how the chinese gold farming operations work, it is nearly impossible for China to pull this off. Sites such as www.MOGS.com are USA based and the games they sell are USA based, granted a majority of the supply there is from players in the USA some comes from China gold farms… if China is going to ban they are going to focus on domestic games to China, however the level of corruption in China at a local level is insane so for the State wide government to do this they have to get through the corrupt local government… All I can say is good luck!

If these gold farms are operating illegitimately, they should be cracked down. Nothing good can come out of, well, fraud. I m sure these laborers can find more legitimate and lucrative jobs. If the virtual market grows big enough in europe & us i m sure we 'll see similar laws
