SlashRating© Lambda slashdottit! tm Kevlar_Sindome writes "Verse Studios announced today that they have officially 'changed everything', with the release of their first game: Fool's Gold. Fool's Gold lets players take on the role of the heroic gold farmer seeking profit from gold hungry characters who seem to have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but never enough time to spend it. Touted as the first Gold Farming Role Playing Game ( GF-RPG ), Verse Studios hopes to get a jump on starting a new game genre. Fool's Gold is free for download off the Verse Studios website."

    I Soviet Russia, Natalie Portman uses a Beowulf cluster of computers running RPGs to heat up grits and subsequently pour hot grits down _your_ pants!

    I think the existence of this game is disturbing, and frankly it should not be encouraged by a link on slashdot. Gold farming is a serious issue that undermines the integrity of the games we invest our time and money in to play. This game is a slap in the face of the hard working people trying to combat gold farming. Making a hero out of the gold farmer is purely offensive.
