I plan to keep the list updated externally on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/netvalar/blog/546814853 so as to reduce the number of places I am updating. Real Cash Economy is an in-world economic system used in some MMOs. It allows real money to be converted to in-game currency and vice versa. In this edition we bring you Golden Battles still in its early stages if you wanted to be one of the 1st. Current List of RCE games if you know of a game not listed feel free to message me Netvalar.

You are a citizen of the seventeenth century who fights on all levels to advance the social hierarchy. You can open businesses, become governor or you can build a military empire. Everything is up to you. Unlike other games of this type, the virtual money from ANNO1777 can be exchanged for real money and vice versa. In other words, a financial success in the virtual world of the game becomes a financial success in the real world. ANNO1777 can be played directly from a browser like Internet Explorer and requires no downloads. 3 - Cash Towns - Build an amazing town and win REAL CASH Cashtowns is a free online game that can be played straight from a browser like Internet Explorer. The game is a town construction, political and military simulator in wich virtual gold can be exchanged for real cash, at a fixed rate. 4 - Market Glory - The economic crisis hit the Earth! Governments have reached impressive debt that rises above their capacity to pay. Liquidity and rampant currency devaluation led to the bankruptcy of companies. Investors have disappeared and the entire economy is in collapse. Politicians have lost confidence in their abilities to save the world and were left drawn to a network of corruption, which quickly took root. Borders were abolished and the governments could not financially support the population and armies. Immorality, confusion, despair reached alarming levels. It is time to rebuild the world! Great thinkers of all countries have met and have developed a new global economic system, codenamed MarketGlory. It's a modern world where economy is based on sound principles, a world founded on trust and honesty, in which governments have no ability to borrow in order to avoid economic and political degradation. Take action in building the new world! Work every day to develop your country, fight for your country! Your daily intake may tip the balance in favor of a rapid development of an integral world. 5 - Pro Econimca - Are you ready to develop your entrepreneurial skills in order to become a really successful businessman? Do you want to manage your own company or compete with other players in a virtual world based on the concepts found in reality? Then go to ProEconomica and get into an unique economic adventure! Join a virtual world that brings you real experience. In this browser based online game your mission is not limited to developing your entrepreneurial skills and knowledge in the economical field, the most important is that you can contribute to your city's development, to the development of your region and country. With your help your country may reach the Global Top. In your way to glory and honor, you have to take care of your virtual character, to accomplish certain works, economical tests or participate in economical competitions with other players, all of these bringing you fame, presents and many benefits in real life 6 - Golden Battles - Golden Battles is an economy and war simulator game, but in the first place your succes depends on the social interactions. Get to know the other players, make friends here and invite the ones you already have. It's always much easier to play in a team. Even the longest travel begins with the first step. As a new Citizen you begin your journey with working and fighting other players or monsters to increase your experience both in Experience points and game knowledge. You can start your own Companies, become a Politician or even a Warrior. There is no golden path to succes it's up to you to find yours. One of the differences this game brings to browser based RCE is fighting NPC taking away the reliance on players in your region. 7 - Dungeons & Treasures - The adventure game that wins money and gifts for their players ! Win more gold and cash with the bonus games : Jackpot, Treasure Hunt, Jousts, Contest Quest and others! the primary aspect is exploring 1 random dungeon each day. Once a month your collected gold turns into D&T which you can exchange for real cash or use to improve your game play for the month. 3D Games Require Download 1 - Entropia Universe - Entropia Universe is an advanced 3D online virtual environment with dynamic planetary systems. The universe is segmented into individual planets, each one offering a unique experience geared towards select target audiences. In Entropia Universe, the participants can choose to travel between the planets to constantly experience new entertainment content. The Entropia Universe concept features its own real economic system with an in-game currency that can be purchased and redeemed back into real world funds. This system enables real entrepreneurial activities for all participants. Many different professions have been developed, for example, material designer, hair stylist, body sculptor, land manager and event promotor. 2 - Diablo 3 - In my opinion not really an RCE, however it has a Real Money Auction House that brings is the ability to buy/sell items and gold for Real Money. Players have five character classes available; the Witch Doctor, Barbarian, Wizard, Monk and Demon Hunter. New features include an online auction house, which allows players to trade virtual items with in-game gold or real life money, and artisans that can craft materials gathered by the player to create new items. 3 - Second Life - Second Life is a 3D world where everyone you see is a real person and every place you visit is built by people just like you. Travel with friends to thousands of beautiful and exciting places — all created by the Second Life community.
There is one that is/was planning to become a real RCE where it is 'legal' to sell stuff in game and you don't have to do it trough some other online shady method and that's Twinity. They were also talking of getting money out of the game onto you bank account, but until now you can just put money in. I did give that a go a while back, but it is basically Second Life, where you can make your own stuff and without any game play what so ever.
Well now I have found 7 browser based and 3 graphic based RCE games made a list on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/netvalar/blog/546814853 As I find new RCE games I plan to add them to this list. Of course finding new RCE games beyond dong my own research means turning to various Q&A websites and finding the right forums to ask in starting with this one in regards to forums. So if you play an RCE game that is not on my list please post here or let me know on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RealCashEconomyGames
Though I plan to keep the updating list external thereby only having 1 place to update instead of how ever many I end up with in however many forums I ask for help locating more RCE games. I admit it is a good idea to have my initial list edited into the 1st post. In regards to facebook that is actually just another place to get my attention and will most likely get my attention long before posts here. Though I do plan to keep an eye out here from time to time and eventually the external list at Myspace may turn into multiple lists as more games come to my attention, after all I can already see different game styles beyond just graphical and browser. For example in my current list you can seperate out RTS from Simulation.
Here is one more 3D RCE game planned for the end of this year http://www.aftertimediaries.com/#!/page_HOME https://www.facebook.com/Aftertimediaries
Well it looks like they are warming up :D ATD already received more than 3 900 000 AT$ from first investors !
