Forging the Future

This poll is designed to investigate the relationship between time and money invested by MMORPG players in their virtual 'property' and the connection with various ways these investments might be handled within a game design. 

For this poll only take into account games you have played that are not intentionally designed for the purchase of in-game currency or items with real money. The term 'items' is assumed to also apply to virtual property like buildings/animals/vehicles, etc.
