Paid to Play?

Really?  I came across this article one of my friends wrote in  Triond.  It's called Paid-to-play: Anno1777 and Dungeons & Treasures.  It appears that some game developers have decided to share their online earnings with the game players.

The idea is novel, taking the entrepreneurial tendencies of those playing popular role playing games such as World of Warcraft and Ragnarok Online into consideration.  But will it work?  According to the author, Anno1777 and Dungeons & Treasures are "legit paying sites."  From what I gather it only means that the games does what it says it does, meaning you get enough online cash, you can withdraw it.

You can play these games for free and still earn.  For those who want to have an advantage in the game in power/strength or earning capacity, both ANNO1777 and Dungeons & Treasures, have the option of letting its gamers invest real money to convert it into game money.

If you love playing these kind of games... why not earn while doing so right?
