and for todays random ramble, I was just thinking about MMO's like WoW that are supposed to have like 8 million players - many of them taking the game as seriously as life itself, lol.
What if they were to try to create a virtual country with those 8 million citizens and trade as a country, tax players and trade real money have a government etc in rl. that would be pretty crazy, they could have their own embassys accross the world for massive lan parties and important online government meetings.
They could introduce tasks in the game that are capable of generating real money including advertising etc and make the virtual currency hold value and be traded, wow being used for investments on a virtual stock market to make real money.
Umm yea it could happen... Discuss

Screw rl, I want to be a virtual tycoon and take over the country!
I played L2 for a while and they had a built in msn which was pretty cool - they could include modified systems for carrying out loads of everday tasks within the MMO like ordering a pizza in a virtual pizza hut, then having it turn up at your door, haha that would be pretty cool 8 million people could demand delivery service on McDonalds and they could tie in all sorts of advertising, pancakes and sausage egg muffin for breakfast in time before i leave for work sounds good.

Yup: 2nd life for sure. Overrated game if u ask me. For me, a game like Renegade is not just the game but everything that comes with it for me: community, clan, website creation, getting to know different players, social contact, ... All of this out of the game, not in it.

Thus why they've been trying to push those things into the game itself.

But it doesn't work IMO. But I'm old fashioned.
