[stuff about Everquest's economy snipped]Fantasy Economics Why economists are obsessed with online role-playing games. By Robert Shapiro Updated Tuesday, February 4, 2003, at 11:26 AM PTThe most popular article in the leading economics Web archive doesn't concern tax policy, international trade, or the theory of the firm. It's about an online fantasy game.
One thing that helps Everquest's economy work as well as it does is the fact that if you violate the terms of service, people will complain about you and the admins *will* take action against you if you are a repeat violator. This tends to make trade (and everything else) run a bit smoother...
Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
