Or you can just print your own Monopoly money.

I don't get it. Is the chart saying that the currency in the games listed at the bottom are worth more?

Is it worth mentioning that "Dark Age Of Camelot" is abbreviated wrong?

"Dark Age Of Camelot" == "DAoC"

not "DoAC"

whatever though... who would notice in the alphabet soup up there...

What I'd rather see is how much Monopoly money is worth in real dollars. Houses on Boardwalk cost M$200 each. How much would a real house on the Jersey Shore go for? I'd imagine the conversion is more like M$2,000 = US$1.

Leto: No, the reverse. 1 SWG Credit is worth .000000841 american dollars or .0036~ monopoly dollars, so it's still less than one monopoly cent.

A Guild Wars Gold is worth about 28 monopoly cents, while an EQ2 Gold is worth about 2 american cents.

Next time you're playing EQ2, give someone a gold, and call it your two cents. I'm sure they'll find it halarious.

To #4 Leto:

Game currencies on top are worth more.

But the chart is useless for snapshot comparisons in my opinion. Why pick gold for some games, plat for others?

One dollar buys what 120 Japanese Yen, but doesn't mean the Yen is weaker. Their base currency just happens to be more like a penny, thats all hehe.

I think the methodology is a little suspect. The value of Monopoly money (Monopoly classic, to be specific - as opposed to the annoying "Here and Now" edition) is based on USD during the Great Depression, not on how much it costs to have Hasbro send you replacement cash. Besides, comparing currency in virtual realms to Monopoly isn't a fair comparison, since a Monopoly game doesn't last more than a couple of hours - as opposed to persistent virtual realms.
