I was over at the arcade and happenend across a truely amazing article. Its quite long but really well worth your time to read. I recommend everyone here reads it.
A brief synopsis on the article is that a an out of work economist starts researching the economies in his favorite past time, videogames and finds some very startling results. Something about this reminds me of .hack. There is a deeper message from everything reported here but the answer seems to eludes me. TAke a look for yourself heres the link. More then just a game? -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty. They stood back to back as the galaxy burned - always brothers, never friends; traitors together unto the last." --an Excerpt from a Night Lords Novel Void Stalkers Chapter X: Revenge |

cosmic..
long live the online experience!  funny that you mentioned that, AC9 ~ first thing that came to mind was .hack// *sigh* now if that were to be made for online play *prays for a ps3 release* i'm there...but that's another topic altogether...lol, back to topic.. ^^; this article is amazingly deep & many parts of it hold truth - we can "indeed" learn lots from the virtual worlds & the economy templates they create...i know that all these experiences have helped me greatly in life beyond the web - how to be responsible & strategic with my finances for one, & the drive to improve my standard of living for two..& i can relate in perfect accord to that one part : hey, i live at Pioneer 2 - but sometimes, i manage to leave temporarily to handle "RL" issues before coming back.. ;p definitely interesting *goes back to reading* ;o |
