yah a while ago i read some economist paper about econ of everquest and the like and because real money is used to trade one can figure out all sorts of stuff about it and I think all of those places were doing pretty good as countries go....it is kinda wierd to buy virtual stuff, but it kinda makes sense in that strange way for ppl wanting to prosper somewhere.... _________________ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, isn't 'Eureka!' but rather 'hmm....that's funny.'
