<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The South Korean MSN portal was hacked for several days, without anyone noticing it. Microsoft says the site contained password-stealing software because another company that operates MSN South Korea failed to apply necessary software patches, leaving the servers vulnerable to attacks.

    The chronology suggests the hackers could have harvested stolen passwords from visitors to the MSN site for up to three days. But their target — passwords to Lineage game accounts — lessened the significance of the break-in since the hacker software appeared not to collect any network or banking passwords. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

lol I like how the hackers stole lineage account passwords. Who needs money when you can have all the MMORPG characters you could ever want! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This of course comes from the same place some people have died for going too long w/o eating/drinking/using the bathroom while gaming

    In general, I'd say all mmorpg accounts don't nearly amount to the amount of time people "use" in playing each account. I'd say the most an account for any mmorpg could go for is maybe $2-3,000. That is of course not including some other progressive world games where you can buy "virtual property" for vasts amounts of money instead.

    They had an article in PCGamer about how selling MMORPG items is like a 200 million dollar market.
