Biggest Sign of Success for MMORPGs

Goodness, if this isn't one of the biggest signs of success for MMORPGs, I don't know what is. Check out this headline:


Now at first the news headline seems innocuous enough but then I realized something - hey IGXE isn't the publisher or the game developer of ARGO Online, what's up with that?

Well it seems that IGXE is actually a Chinese company that sells virtual currencies. So in other words, the Chinese gold farmers and real world traders have realized that ARGO Online is a big hit. They are going to spend their real life money to buy ARGO gold and sell it to players for more real life money.
“Based on our earlier market survey and customer requirements, we believe that ARGO Online will become quite popular, and IGXE.com will not miss this opportunity. Our team has done plenty of preparations for this online game, so that players can enjoy the professional services of Argo Gold and so on in the near future,” Vinson Feen, Manager of IGXE.com said excitedly.

Apparently ARGO Online, one of the best free PvP MMORPGs of 2011, has become popular enough for other services to spring up around it. It's crazy but this is actually a good sign of sorts, don't you agree?
