That would only be true if there was a limited supply of gold in the game. With the developer able to control how much gold theres is in the game at the flick of a few bytes on the server, virtual gold is worthless to them. However between players it can have some real $ value if one of them is trying to get ahead.
As has been mentioned the Back in Time event in Brighton last month was a fantastic event for us old time C64 users. As has already been mentioned Rob Hubbard played some of his tunes solo on piano before being joined by among others Ben Daglish for a brilliant rendition of the Monty on the Run theme (with my mate Mark Knight on the violin).
There were many other well known C64 musicians around on the day including Martin Galway and Richard Joseph. All were great guys and took the time to chat to people over a few drinks.
The 64 is the machine which started me getting serious about this whole programming thing and here I am now coding games at EA. That little beige box has got a lot to answer for!

Imagine trying to explain an Infocom adventure or a Rogue-like to them!
I hope this tour is as much of a success as the original concert. If so some of us would love to see a concert of the FF music over here in England!
