Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

is a business concerned with making and selling accounts and in-game
currency on MMORPGs for real-world money. The term can also refer to a
building containing computers installed with MMORPGs (e.g. RuneScape,
World of Warcraft, Everquest, etc.), which generate money for the
business. Laborers work on the computers to either collect in-game
currency (known as gold farming) or to generate high-level characters
(known as power-leveling). Organizations run like this are referred to
as sweatshops because the gold farmers are usually paid very low wages.
