Age of Conan: Turning the Gold into Real Cash DateTime:7/21/2009 11:56:42 AM
A while back ago the developers of Age of Conan developers forbid the auction of real money being changed for gold and other AOC goods, and even asked eBay if they would stop listing or allowing these auctions on their site. With specialized websites dedicated to these activities it was inevitable that Age of Conan would have to address the situation themselves in a different manner.For the millions of players playing Age of Conan in a special treat was given for there at work playing efforts, the game allowed players to place orders for pizza delivery from with the game, with simply typing in the command “/pizza”. No, you couldn’t use your gold for the pie but you could have a meal at the push of a button.
Another way of making money is through partnership, or advertising. The promotion has since ended but generated lots of press and question for different possibilities for the future.In the year of 2005 in the month of June, Sony Online Entertainment produced station exchange in which they legalized the exchange of gold for real cash. Station Exchange is an official auction system, on certain designated servers it allows real money to be transferred for in-game gold, items or characters, they still discourage buying in game material for real cash on any other forum besides the one that Sony Online Entertainment provides.
