Cool, the genius e-mailed them. I guess you can't really get in trouble for fake money though.
The whole idea of exchanging real money for fake seems like a joke anyway. It's amazing how into these games people get! A friend of mine bought an EQ character for an ungodly amount on Ebay. If anything, it just seems like cheating to me.
It's not really fair to purchase a character you didn't build. I guess money does help people become better gamers... For example, won't the person with the best PC and fastest connection have an advantage at online FPS type games?

So the guy got away with it because he was more tech savvy and too cool for school for the law?
Man, I miss the days when you actually had to get up and go to the bank to steal money.

Selling Things like this on the internet is great, means people like us who played and give up can make up for all those subs charges we paid along the way!
