@ mods: this post is to discuss the monetary impact of the announcement, as this aspect becomes easily overlooked in the original subforum
Nice move ogrr people!Today the merger of
mmoexchange.net (14643 Members) and
ogrr.com (3611 Members) into the henceforth address:
ogrr.com was announced.
http://www.mmoexchange.net/forums/index.php?topic=60228.0The mmoe user base will be directly converted to ogrr accounts and is invited to utilize the integrated trading and escrow system of ogrr.com, which uses bitcoin as a standard means of exchange, but they can use any currency they prefer.
After month of stagnation this move by team ogrr (Diablo II and III based) seems to be a smart and hopefully not too costly investment into their future. mmoexchange.net is a place for mainly Rune Scape oriented users to trade items and ingame currency for paypal, USD, Western Union and others. Meanwhile Runescape on ogrr.com, although offered in a subforum, did not get any attention, as most users come here to trade bitcoin for Diablo II and III items/Gold.
Will this be the beginning of many such aquisitions of different MMOG like Eve, WoW and others alike?
What will be the effects on bitcoin acceptance, usage around the web?
Pls discuss!
Comparison:
As you can see from the forum stats, the MMOexchange.net community is nearly as large as the BITCOINTALK.COM community! Maybe 1/3rd smaller. Immagine this huge influx of new bitcoin users. Of course not all will instantly use bitcoin for their transactions, but many will. What does this mean for Bbitcoin price?
