No, because the winners in this game aren't going to be the best players, it's going to be the richest (in real life) players. I'll stick with having fun in SL, thanks.Would you play an online game for real money?
It depends on the game really. Some games lets you play for free as a demo and then later on force you to pay real money before you're able to fully experience the entire game play.



I play SmallWorlds which I just love! There's the option to pay and there's the option not too. The cool thing about SmallWorlds is that there's plenty of opportunity to earn and win Gold (the in-world currency) without paying real money. Also there's a lot of items that you can buy for free; most games limit their free items to the crappy ones but SmallWorlds isn't like that. There's a huge variety of things to do and buy for free.



There are lots of people who have been playing for ages who don't pay at all. Instead of buying the inworld gold you can make it by trading, doing missions and offers. They also have competitions all the time that you can win the gold. SmallWorlds have an inworld newspaper and they did an article of several of the SmallWorlds players that made a lot of gold without paying real money for it.

Plus the fact that SmallWorlds is just really cool with awesome graphics and so much to do inside like make missions, paint art, play games, make new friends, get awesome wearables and more! I just love it! And it doesn't need to cost you a cent if you don't want it to.
