Unlike other online virtual world clients such as Second Life, OpenSimulator does not feature a method of exchanging or using currency. However, the online virtual world platform does feature protocol hooks that allow administrators to install currency modules. After installing the currency module, users can enjoy a greater level of social realism when playing OpenSimulator by buying and selling items with online currency. You will need the WAMP server suite already installed and functional, as changes will be made to the Apache HTTP server and MySQL database service located within the suite.
