December 22, 200619 yr Mmmmmm.... Is it really SLAVERY? They are actually FORCED to play an online game? I think they'd get wages. In that case, they're being payed to become no-lifers lol... [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it. I own. http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.
December 22, 200619 yr You have to take into consideration China as a whole makes a lot less than people in America and Europe do. But still it's not a very nice job..
December 22, 200619 yr link added in first post. Chinese spoken, dutch subtitles! Dutch subtitles? I don't speak dutch, neither can I read dutch, and I know translation sites only translates text, nothing on pictures/videos. Wow RuneScape there are too many results about these two tags on YouTube, can someone tell me the best tags on YouTube to find these videos with English Subtitles? Please?
December 22, 200619 yr What's so strange about seeing this happen? They aren't slaves or prisoners . They are doing this as a job to earn money. If you could earn more playing a monotonous game than doing other hard work, what would you choose? They might look like silly people to some, but if we look at ourselves... we aren't even earning any money playing Runescape (except if we illegally sold our stuff), and the game's not that enjoyable after a time, is it? This is all called business, they are taking advantage of the cheap man power in China, just like all industrial countries have been doing for ages. Now everything on WoW is MADE IN CHINA as well. By the way, a person here mentioned that they get 600 Yuan per month. That is a high salary if you compare with real farmers, or poor people living on the edge. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.

Its just another way of using very cheap labour in China, like this is happening for a growing share of the world economy nowadays. The only remarkable issue for me was that those farmers sometimes actually prefer this virtual world above daily (hard) reality..allthough they know that they are working for 'lazy&rich' European players who let them lvl their characters illegally. And, referring to the salary they get..I can't recall if it was 600 Yuan, but it was mentioned in the documentary that they earn real low wages (for Chinese standards)
