MMORPG=>RMT http://rmt.blogbus.com by blogbus.com Thu, 01 Jan 1970 07:00:00 +0700 http://public.blogbus.com/profile/4/6/9/1258964/avatar_1258964_96.jpg MMORPG=>RMT http://rmt.blogbus.com About Real-money Trading or RMT Real-Money Trading (or RMT, Real Money Transaction) is a phenomenon that occurred with the birth of online-gaming, especially in the genre of MMORPGs (see also Virtual economy).

The case works as follows:

1. A player advances in the MMORPG and obtains in-game currency.
2. The player will then sell the currency on online auction sites, such as eBay, or to companies such as wowmine.com or IGE.
3. Other players will purchase, or bid on, the currency through transactions (usually online).
4. The company, or player, will then hand over the virtual currency to the buyer.

This has caused a serious problem within many online games as it deals with real money, and not that of the virtual world. However, this action is technically not illegal (other than possibly breaking the terms and conditions of the contract with the game operator), but primarily goes against the wish of the producers of the game and is shunned by many avid fans.

This is usually accomplished by carrying out in-game actions (such as killing an important creature) repeatedly to maximize income. More broadly, the term could refer to a player of any type of game who repeats mundane actions over and over in order to collect in-game items.

A gold farmer is a player who farms items for the sole purpose of sale to other players via an out-of-game venue, such as eBay or IGE (also called RMT - Real-money trading). Since there is significant real-world demand for in-game gold, gold farming sometimes is taken very seriously.

People enter these virtual economies recreationally rather than by necessity; however, some people do interact with them for "real" economic benefit.

So, I will stop issuing on MMORPG.

Coming Next would be about Farmer and RMT and such.

Hope you enjoy it. :)

P.S.: IF you feel like to know more about MMORPG in other aspects, please leave your notes here, I will cover your quests ASAP.

Player-created content was the greatest trend until approximately 2004, when [World of Warcraft] hit the scene and changed the climate of the MMORPG industry dramatically.

Private servers are mostly run by volunteers, therefore most of them are free. However, some private servers may wish for people to donate money, sometimes in exchange for a bonus in the game. Private servers remain markedly less popular than the official servers, with player numbers usually in the hundreds, though popular private servers may reach up to one or two thousand online players and even up to ten thousand in terms of player registrations.

Exploiting is a form of cheating involving the use of a flaw in the game mechanics to gain unfair advantage. Depending on the nature of the exploit, developers can address the exploits within a short time through patches and updates. Even when fixed, exploiting can still be an issue, as exploiters may still have the advantage or items they gained before the patch was released. Depending on the nature of the exploit, a rollback may be needed just to counter the effects. Twinking may also be seen as another form of cheating.
