  Over to the Caribbean Sea in Atlanta, nearly 2,000 miles away from OSRS gold Marinez and the home of Bryan Mobley. As a teenager playing RuneScape for hours and hours, he informed me in a phone call. "It was fun. It was a method to get away from homework, shit like that," he said.

  At 26, Mobley views the game in a different way. "I don't think of it as a virtual world anymore," he told me. It's for him something of a "number emulator," an analogy to virtual roulette. The increase in the supply of in-game currency can be an infusion of dopamine.

  Since Mobley started playing RuneScape in the early aughts, there was a black market in the game's economy. In the land of Gielinor players are able to trade items--mithril longswords, yak-hide armor, herb harvested from herbiboars. Gold is the game's currency. In the end, players began to exchange the gold they earned in game for real dollars. This is known as real-world trade. Jagex is the game's creator restricts exchanges like this.

  At first, real-world trading was conducted informally. "You might be able to purchase gold from a fellow student at high school." Jacob Reed, one of the most popular creators of YouTube videos about RuneScape who goes by the name of Crumb wrote on an email I sent to him. Later, demand for gold outstripped supply which led to some players becoming full-time gold farmers, or even those who make the currency within the game, which they sell for real-world cash.

  Internet-based miners were always associated with the massively multiplayer internet games, or MMOs that included Ultima Online and World of Warcraft. They also worked their way through certain text-based virtual worlds said Julian Dibbell, now a technology transactions lawyer who was a writer on virtual economies as a journalist.

  In the past, many of these gold-miners were based in China. They hid in makeshift factories, where they slaughtered virtual ogres and looted their corpses in 12-hour shifts. There were even reports of the Chinese government employing prisoners to buy OSRS GP run a gold farm.
