A 22-year-old gamer has spent $26,500 (£13,700) on an island that exists only in a computer role-playing game (RPG).

The Australian gamer, known only by his gaming moniker Deathifier, bought the island in an online auction.

The land exists within the game Project Entropia, an RPG which allows thousands of players to interact with each other.

Entropia allows gamers to buy and sell virtual items using real cash, while fans of other titles often use auction site eBay to sell their virtual wares. *snip*

Yikes, are people really that hooked on their games that they'll pay cash for items? The dude plans on taxing people for mining on his land. He also plans on selling it for cash.

So, he could make a profit then?
Well. Money for nothing, eh?
Now he's just gotta work on the 'chicks for free'
