NEWLY UPDATE!!!!!!
Our news center have begin a news feature about this theme. And also do some interview in some of the posters here.
Click the following pics to get in the news center to show ur opinion.

Question:
1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

I am playing Ultima Online

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)

Most of all, I would like a fancy rose for my house. These roses only come from special long ago competitions, so are very valuable.

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

I think it is a great way for gamers to get a little extra money out of their fun game. However, it is probably not at all cost effective to spend so much time making comparatively little money. As an example, I sold one of my Ultima Online accounts for $20, but I had spent days upon days building everything up. It probably evened out to about 5 cents an hour for my labor! However, if someone is in a situation where their country's economy limits their daily income to make selling virtual items cost and time effective, then I think it is a great way for people to get out of a difficult situation. If people are willing to pay real money for virtual items, than I think people should use this to improve their quality of life if they can.


4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?

No, I will not unless I find it to be particularly rewarding for a very affordable price.

If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

Because I would feel unfulfilled purchasing something intangible to me unless it would bring me hours of online joy.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

I currently play zero online.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)

I wanted a level 90 elite rifle gun.

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

I think that virtual item trading ruins games. Economies are skewed greatly when excesses amount of cash enter the market. Hardworking players that spend months/years to earn enough money to buy their item learn that it went up 10% or 20% in price on the last day they have accumulated their saving to purchase the item will be unmotivated to continue training and quit.

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?

I personally MF for items only but if cash shop has a double drop items then I would pay a dollar or two for it.

If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?

$10-$20 for double experience or double drop items, if present.

If no, why?

-3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
is another good way of business. very smart. people actully spend more than paying monthly fee.
-4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
i don't think i will buy any item..
-If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?
because is just a game. just want to enjoy with friends and get away from real life...of course..can't get away for too long. but if in the game. there is an e-shop that can send some flowers to my girlfriend in reality.. i probably would buy from it.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
-MapleStory
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)
-Behold.. the Eclipse

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
-I think who ever pays over $50 for a virtual item should seek help... like NOW
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
-NO... i wouldnt EVER pay for a virtual item.. i think its stupid because if he can get it than u could... unless it was a limted addition event item that is so awesome that u must have it because it is simply .... no i wouldnt it still sint worth it to me and seems like a big scam.. i mean ur paying for something taht can be deleted tomarrow and is totally not worth it

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present? I am playing Silkroad atm but im on and off at runescape..
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)Well in silkroad probly a sun weapon in runescape just gold.
3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion? I dont think it is that bad. If they want to go to the effort to farm bot or do whatever they do to get the items/gold let them i say. Its a buisness.
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself? I would and i have (sadly)I spent $600 usd on runescape gold (yes sad huh)? But with that money at the time i bought a party hat set with the gold (200mil at the time for any rs players.)But now that party hat set is worth over $3000 so i think it was a worthwhile trade.
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG? As i said $600..Im always looking for a merchanting chance and paying that $600 in 6months i have made 2.4 grand from doing nothing :)
If no, why?

A question is there anything a normal person like me could get on the Mmosite news team? I love strange storys like that and when I want to I have great grammer skills :)

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
I'm playing Flyff but I will begin to play Nostale,probably.
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)
I don't want any equipment because I don't even visit the Malls in the MMORPGs,because I could like an item and then I won't be able to sleep without having it if it's a really good item.I want a pet in Scions of Fate,though...
3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
I think it's a business like the other businesses in our world but if it's ilegally,it isn't good.
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
Heh,I would pay if the prices are affordable...but I don't have a credit card.
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?
If I like a MMORPG(I'll try WoW and see if it's as good as people say),I can begin paying but only if it's among the absolute BEST and its monthly fee is not more than 20 $.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

I'm Currently playing Silkroad Online.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)

Seal Of Sun 8d bow. (after 20minutes of searching can't find a picture XD)

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

If the work is put in by real people and not computer programs to run it for them then I'm fine with it.

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?

Ya I will, am currently paying around $30 a month for various things in the game already.

If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

Depends on how much I like the game, as of right now I'd lay down more money on silkroad if there was something I wanted bad enough.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

I'm currently playing Sword of The New World

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG?

I want to buy the unique character inside the game, like some of them actually can use both weapon and good skills. Also I want to buy the gold, which get very good pot and such...etc

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

I think the Virtual trading quiet ruined the game, like everyone using the game in a bad way instead of having but making money. It's fine when they actually put their personal effort into it, but mostly boting and hacking

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?

Yes I want to pay for game with limited amount of money

If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?

I pay around $25 - $100 abfor what I want, or more to get the certain item I want, not everything, just the one that I wanted the most, if I don't like anything else, I won't buy anything else using my money

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

Metin2 and Silkroad Online.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG?

I could careless for Metin2. Im just trying to lvl right now but dont have that much time to play. Silkroad I would want full blue SOSun +9 Bow lvl 64!

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

Kind of sad. In Silkroad Online I have heard many rumors that if you buy stuff from the item mall and you bot you will not get banned. That is pretty crazy if you ask me but I dont know if its true. If Virtual item trade and item mall would support bots it would be great.

4:4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

Not right now because if I have better use for my money in the present time. In the summer I spent like 5$ one month for just globals and it sure helped me out selling and buying stuff. I don't pay money on MMORPG cause I just think its a waist of money. That's just my opinion though

Question:
1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
Knight Online / WOW
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)
Knight Online - Hellbreaker +9
3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
Good way to make mone
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
No, i would MF by myself because it seems like i have accomplish alot more than paying for an item and i can make money when i'm done with the game.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

I'm Currently playing RF Online.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)

Rare Accessories (that would require you hours and hours of hunting for it)

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

As long as they dont hack other players for it. Its ok then.

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?

I guess, if it will save me lots of time and instead of the boring of killing the same monster(creature) over and over again just to get the item.

If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

Hmm, $10-20 dollars maybe.

[B]1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?[/B]
Currently Dofus, Lucia & Wow.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG?.
In dofus (as its my main mmo) i would really like a turq dofus, but these things hardly ever drop, it takes a massive investment of time to get one.

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
Love it, if i want to pay real cash to get something then I should be able to do this. I think to be fair on the people that dont choose to do this people that buy from virtual shop should have a medal / mark in there public statistics so that we can compaire to others who play in a simular way.

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
Yes I would. I just want everything now now now, so I would buy if the opion was there and I could afford it. I would pay what ever amount is reasonable for that item.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
Currently totally addicted to Silk Road Online
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)
I would absolutely love to get my hand on the Cancer Moonlight Orb...sorry about the size, I don't actually have it.
3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
Personally, I would not pay real money for an in-game item, but I would probably pay a ridiculously high amount of in-game gold for certain weapons/armor...
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
I'd rather just get them myself by grinding or hunting like a madman. I just don't think paying real money for an in-game item is...logical, is the word I'm hunting for...
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?

None, because I'm without a computer for at least a week more, that's why I haven't posted anything for a while either.

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)

Well, I'm not playing anything at the moment and I usually don't really have any equipment or items I really want, I just want to look cool. The last thing I really wante was the Bastard Sword in Archlord and I got it.

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?

I don't care much, good for them if they can get easy money, well it actually isn't easy to get rare stuff and high levels in MMOs so it's not really easy money, but if you like the game and you don't have anything to do with items or whatever then it's cool to get money for pretty much just a picture on your computer screen.

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

I'd never buy myself stuff in games.
The reason is because I get tired of games really fast so it's a waste of money for just a little while.

1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
sword of the new world

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG?
lvl 80 uniqe weapon

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
well to tell the truth i really dont care much about it

4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?

no because no mmorpg is worth paying for its just a game

Question:
1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
Perfect World (MY - ENG)
2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG?
Anything chaotic looking, and "hellish".
3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
Ah, it's okay if the seller and buyer are doing what they say they're going to do.
4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
Yes.
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
$0.01 USD to maximum of #30.00 USD

Question:
1: Which MMORPG are you playing at present?
2moons, Tabula Rasa, Metin2

2: Which equipment or item you most wanted in that MMORPG? (If you can, add the pics should be the best, XD)
I wanted the legendary sets (pics in the links below)as they are a much better improvement than the normal armor. These armor peices give extra buff and its armor value surpasses the next lvl's normal armor set. Armor and buffs are important at lvl 50ish because of pvp.

3: How do you think about the Virtual item trading business, in your opinion?
I'm actually surprised that game accounts and items could actually go that high! I personally don't think it should be that high because buying items and accounts just doesnt give you that satisfaction of hard work and knowing that you did a 3 hour grind to get a certain item or to level up a character. I can imagine that people are competitive and would spend EXTRA money on their MMO-RPG to get the top items but i wouldn't go past the monthly fee.


4: Will you pay your money on MMORPG to get equipments/items or get them from MF by yourself?
If yes, you will pay how much on a MMORPG?
If no, why?
I wouldnt spend any money on in-game items just because it doesnt give me any satisfaction. Some people doesn't things handed to them and i'm one of those people. I have no problems with money but buying items is an empty way to advance in the game.

1. Silkroad online
2. Wizard staff of eight degree with seal of sun+9 and with full 100%blues:P
3. I think it makes NO SENCE to sell virtual items on such costs as if they were some great lux from real life. 10000 dolars for a wow char, 30000dolars for a weapon, PROSTITUTING for some WOW gold and so on - THAT IS MADNESS.
4. Yes, I would but in NO CASE more then 20usd (on a game forever not per month!)

does anyone know when cabal is coming to the u.s.a?
