No it's not. It's just as real as, say, money on your bank account. Both exist only in 0's and 1's on a hard drive somewhere.

If you need more arguments to convince you, read the following article, or skip to point 3 and 4, which are about the real-world value of 'virtual' items:

*edit* Oops, Crunchy was way ahead of me. But the article I posted is still relevant and extremely interesting.
