Furthermore, the player´s total on-line time is decided by the virtual moneypsilas exchange rate, interest rate and the in-game attractiveness, the virtual bank´s reserve rate and virtual playerpsilas cash ratio by the virtual moneypsilas interest rate. Both the survey results of China and the empirical model of U.S. Second Life verified the conclusion in this paper.
