When we playing online games, it seems like we are living in the virtual world. The last time I played Utopia, I was like remembering when is the utopian days as in our hours. So, when this Ansch Chung (Ailin Graef) decided to start a virtual world, and making thousands from it, I begin to feel curious.
According to Chung, in June 2004 she began selling and creating custom animations and then used this money to buy and develop virtual land. This is also considered the beginning of her business where, for the first time, she kept and reinvested funds instead of giving them away. Chung currently owns hundreds of servers worth of land, most of which are sold or rented to other users as a part of her ‘Dreamland’ areas. Within Dreamland various levels of zoning rules are enforced; most other land in Second Life is unzoned, where multiple different types of business or housing are located in adjacent areas. Philip Rosedale, the CEO of Linden Lab - the company that produces Second Life - has referred to Anshe as “the government” when referring to the role she plays managing her regions.

Last I heard is that Sweden decided to start an embassy in the Second Life. Meaning, there will be a parallel world known as Second Life in the Internet? Wow… things are getting surreal. But does it means that I can own a house in virtual Second Life but homeless in real life? I just couldn’t understand of being the first virtual millionaire?
