The stuff that happens in this game is almost better than real life.
The head of a in-game banking institution has run off with about 200 billion ISK, converted it to $5K real world dollars, and used part of it for a payment on a house and for some medical bills. The news caused a run on the bank which deflated it's holding so much that it needed to be propped up by an inflow of capital.
Sound familiar?
BBC.
Massively.
It's not Madoff worthy, but it is ground breaking for virtual world economics.
But seriously, why are there not embedded cameras every where broadcasting the goings on to the world. We need real time embedded journalistic machinima (with decent procedural editing).
I'd buy that for a dollar.
