MMORPG Economies

I Love online games. I think of the reasons I love them is that i can interact with people and just logoff when I get bored, instead of having to endure a whole night with them. If I start to get bored I just log off and find somthing else to do. One of the other reasons that i like online games so much is that it is a test to see who can get to have the highest achievements, highest kills, highest level, highest xp count, and highest bankroll. The last I like a lot becuase a lot of these games have been around for awhile and everyone has tried everything to make money in them. I call them mini economie. Thats why i was so happy when i stumbled onto this great paper on themPaper on 'mini-economies'. It was written very well by an academic mind (not some dude who stayed up for the past 3 days eatting funyons and whinning about paladins skill caps). It is a really good paper. Check it.
