baaaaaack in the day, around 2002,2003 the GM of my guild in Shadowlords Society set up a load of chinese with PC's and got them offering Power leveling in DAoC.

Within a year, he made enough to build a nightclub from scratch in sweden, whilst living a semi playboy lifestyle.

Why oh why didnt I think of it?

well, I suppose its pretty obvious theres money to be made from it, as its been around for years despite a lot of effort being put into stamping it out.

The thing I've always considered about this, is due to the vast amount of gaming they do, they're no better/probably worse off than any normal Chinese person - long hours with no fitness, pooor eyesight and RSI's.

£80 a month is definitely below the average Chinese person's wage atm.

Still that's a LOT of people doing it.
