I read about some company having a meeting in there. You can make your own items or scenery AFAIK. I was going to look into it but I don't like monthly fees. Since then I heard you can get a free basic account. I currently don't have the hard drive space and don't want to get into another MMO. You can exchange your virtual cash for real money directly. Wish we could do that in GW.

Possibly link us to the website? From what Divinity said about it it sounds pretty cool.

I found it quite hard as you have to build everything that you want yourself. You can physically make a decent amount of money from that game, and I'm it's the career for some. I reccommend trying it but I think we all know what is best.

There was an article in PC Gamer a month or two ago about someone who has a full real estate firm that buys and sells in-game real estate. Crazy, crazy stuff.

Gave up on this idea...there was an artical in the paper about people "duping" items in the game and people started quitting by the dozens.

Prob going to end up DL a free trial of WoW...also going to give D&D Online a go (mainly because someone bought it for me)
