Hey, Steve you stole my idea for a blog post! Seriously you beat me to the punch. One day I often wondering why there were so many wealthy players on WOW and other online games. Why are these players so successful at accumulating millions on an online video game but you know in real life they're in debt up to their eyeballs. I think one reason is because video games are in black and white. What I mean is you only have a limited number of choices of what to do with your income (buy, sell, invest, give). You have financial goals because you are always striving for something in the game. In a MMOG you work together with others to achieve a common goal. In a video game it's hard to fritter away your money foolishly, become addicted to gambling or alcohol or use credit. Sounds like all the ingredients for success without the pitfalls! Oh yeah you'll be hearing from my lawyers Mr. Pavlina
