EverQuest and the UN

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-plain-bizarre dept.

maddugan writes "NewScientiest.com has a piece on how EverQuest has spawned an economy with a per-captia income comparable to that of a small country. Mostly from profiteering on eBay. If it was indeed a country, it would rank 77th, just behind Russia." It'll be quite interesting to see what happens as MMORPGs gain popularity and absorb more and more man hours.

    You are the dumbest fucking retard in the world. "My cyberspace cash equals 1=1 real cash! I grow worms, and my value is great! But I'm bogus because I don't adhere to some obscure formula that is compiled by some obscure asshole!"

    No, wait, my 'asshole' friend just told me that I can sell my house for 10:1! Yeah, boy!

    I bow my head in shame! So much work, to be obsoleted by some sister-humper who came up with an equally valid scheme based on the number of times he had incest sex.
