Word
of Warcraft Gold Terminology
And, as with any game, World of Warcraft has its own terminology.
Some common terms related to World of Warcraft's gold are:
G/GP - gold (coin)
Gold Farmers - Characters (typically played by a group so they can
be online 24/7) that do nothing but farm money and high-value vendor
trash in order to sell gold to other players for real-world money.
The typical usage is "Chinese Gold Farmer", since many of these
characters are/were run by companies in China and other parts of
Asia.
The
Ethics of Buying World of WarCraft Gold
 Here is a great article discussing
the pros and cons of being
able to buy World of Warcraft Gold so readily through third party
currency providers.
PAY real cash for virtual goods. That
is to what many players like Wang Kang Yi have resorted to quicken
their progress in online games. The 25-year-old administrative
executive shelled out $200 in March this year for 500 gold credits
in World of Warcraft, a popular massive multiplayer online
role-playing game (MMORPG). And he thinks the money was well-spent.
'I couldn't afford to be glued in front of the computer for at least
two hours at a stretch since I was already working full time. 'By
doing my sums, I realized that it would take me about 100 playing
hours to earn that amount of gold. Buying became a better
alternative,' said the game fanatic.
Replete with night elves, Orcs
and dwarves, World of Warcraft is set in a fantasy world not unlike Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. Thousands of players interact with one
another in real time through the virtual environment, and earn gold
credits through their team conquests. For Mr. Wang, adding the
virtual currency he bought to his own hard-earned cache of gold
meant that he could finally purchase his object of desire - a horse
worth a princely sum of 900 gold credits. He is not alone. Many
computer gamers around the world are paying hard cash to gain an
edge over others in the online fantasy world. Other games which
attract such "trading" include Maple Story, Ultima Online,
EverQuest, Asheron's Call and Star Wars Galaxies.
Players have been known to buy
virtual money, rare items in the game or even entire characters
with their associated powers and accompanying weapons. As it
takes a lot of hard work, not to mention time and luck, to
attain these virtual goods, the high prices they command seem
reasonable. However, World of Warcraft player Eric Chua thinks
otherwise. "It does take a lot of time and effort to build a
character to a level where you actually start to enjoy the
gameplay," said the
29-year-old advertising brand manager. "But the current market rate
is just not something I would be willing to pay for." A scan of
auction site Ebay produced over 700 results for various items of the
game on sale. The highest-priced item is a World of Warcraft account
sold by a New Yorker for US$5,000.
Meanwhile, to raise the
game level of a character in the shortest time, known in gaming
parlance as "leveling", online hawkers are charging up to US$360.
These vendors will log into your account and play the game for you.
Indeed, the industry is so lucrative that China-based sweatshops and
established companies, such as Miami-based Internet Gaming
Entertainment (IGE), have been set up just to 'farm'. The word is
used to describe the activity of playing the game to acquire as much
gold or items as possible for resale. Selling skills and weapons
online, however, is frowned upon and banned by Blizzard
Entertainment, the games developer of World of Warcraft. It has
threatened to take legal action against individuals 'who engage in
this inappropriate activity'.
World of Warcraft was launched
late November 2004. Since March of 2005, the company has removed
more than 800 players suspected of farming from its servers.
Nonetheless, World Cyber Games organizers Herman Ng can understand
where the allure of buying gold lies. "MMORPGs have very
immersive environments. So whatever you possess in that world, your
friends can see it. To obtain a rare item or to be an advanced
player gives you bragging rights in a way," said the 27-year-old.
Others, however, feel adding real money into the equation taints the
value of the play and destroys the enjoyment of the game. Audio
engineer Willy Goh, 28, said: "I would never buy World of Warcraft
Gold because the fun is in the journey. The sense of achievement is
in finally killing that ultra-big monster, not in amassing items or
cheap gold." IT writer Chan Chi-Loong, 29, agrees. "Some people
might feel that their time is precious, so to get the maximum
enjoyment from the game, they pay for a short cut to the process,"
he said. "But if you get to the advanced level too easily, it loses
its value. In that sense, I prefer to just enjoy the game for
what it is."

I
think this article raises some interesting points, mainly that
purist think buying cheap
world of warcraft gold wrecks the game, while others
believe it levels the playing fields and helps people who cannot
devote long hours playing World of Warcraft every week.
Which ever side of the debate you are on, World of WarCraft Gold
selling is a multi-million dollar business that is not going to go
away any time soon.
