Virtual real estate boom draws real dollars

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Rising interest rates have yet to cool white-hot real estate prices. Perhaps that's why the concept of virtual home ownership has captured the imagination of a growing number of online gamers, who are plunking down real cash for their own slice of the digital frontier.

Large swathes of undeveloped online property, some bearing an uncanny resemblance to a palm-studded West Coast beachfront idyll, are selling for up to $550 an acre.

That amount is but a song compared with real world real estate, but these are computerized representations of property -- pretty pictures, if you will -- in an online graphic role-playing game known as "Second Life."

"The idea of land ownership and the ease with which you can own land and do something with it ... is intoxicating," said Philip Rosedale, CEO of "Second Life" creator, San Francisco-based Linden Labs.

"Second Life" is a relatively new entry into the world of Massively Multiplayer Online games, known to enthusiasts as MMOs. Like Sony Corp.'s "EverQuest" and Electronic Arts' "The Sims Online," players create their own civilizations and interact with others living alternative lives online.

Starting a "second life" costs $9.95 a month and requires a download at the game's Web site and a fairly powerful Mac or Windows-based computer. Current players arrange welcoming parties for newbies and often help point them toward plots available for virtual homesteading.
