A 22-year-old gamer has spent $26,500 (£13,700) on a plot of land that exists only in a computer role-playing game (RPG).
 The land exists within the game Project Entropia, an online roleplaying game which allows thousands of players to interact with each other.
Entropia which labels itself "a massive virtual universe with a real cash economy" 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.
"This type of investment will definitely become a trend in online gaming," said the Australian online gamer who is known only by his in-game character moniker Deathifier, to BBC News.
