Want a new job?

We already knew that the asian guys are a little bit crazy when it comes to playing video games.

They have tv channels that show Starcraft multiplayer games and players that are idolized like rockstars. But now they have reached a new level of awesomeness.
The highest court in South Korea allowed two players of the MMORPG "Lineage" to change the money they earned in the game into real money. There are only two restrictions. They have to earn the money by using their skills and time. Earnings which are only based on luck, e.g. gambling aren't allowed. And they must actually play, so no bots or makros.

How crazy is that? Imagine somebody's asking you what you do for living and you can reply: "I ramble through dungeons looking for monsters to kill!"
What happened to those times when gamers played Super Mario and collected coins just for fun?
