The Economy of Everquest

Posted by michael on from the no-minimum-wage dept.

Gr0und_zer0 writes: " A Cal State professor is currently conducting an economic survey of Everquest players which will be used to write a paper he plans to submit to an academic journal. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out and if it actually is published. Maybe we will learn the Everquest platinum to be favorable to some of those devalued third world currencys floating around. So much for living in reality, who needs the stock market these days, I'll invest in Everquest."

    both of which probably arent worth wasting your reading time on but anyway...

    interesting article - but it gets me intrigued and there's no content on the site it links to (survey's offline for processing or summat...)

    Glad to see the new Slashdot up and running :) Perfectly timed with my first opportunity to meta-moderate as well, perfect!

    Anybody notice there aren't any sigs appearing? My sig still shows in my settings, but it's not appearing on my old posts, and I notice nobody else has any either. Let's see if it appears on this post.
