MMO RPG Game Micro Currency

As this new realm of commerce is upon us and growing strong within the gaming community, my goal is to bring awareness to “player’s rights” for certain aspects of games in where an individual player’s time, money & character creation is associated.

Game companies and developers especially within the MMO RPG Games need to start being held responsible for up-holding standards within the controlling of individual character creation by players who create characters on their games. At some point the line needs to be drawn about who owns those individual game characters and items. Yes it is understandable that a game developer can own the rights to the game but there needs to be some mutual respect of the rights between the game company and it’s game players (customers). If a customer spends real money of their own through a micro currency game and spends time creating a character and growing this character through money and time then the game developers need to start understanding that thier customers character & it’s characters associated items become a “SHARED” creation. Think of how crazy it would sound for someone to buy Microsoft Office products then create documents and templates or anything using the software and for Microsoft to then turn around and say ok Microsoft now owns all of your created documents because we own the software. This is insane and un-heard of and would cause many issues. We in the gaming community need to start taking this approach with game developers and companies who want to “OWN” everything including OUR time on the game and OUR real money we invest into our game characters.

It is time for change!
