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 |

Interesting reading...I spent about 30 mintues or so reading the article. FFXI is maybe already in this form...but not quite in some of the extent that EverQuest is. Come to think of it...games like FFXI and such are build on "virtual" economies and you can see what happens in a virtual economy...the same as the real world. When problems arrise it effects the games as problems do in the real world.
