Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot Audiobook

" Very Interesting book on the history and economy of virtual worlds. There's actually a monetary "exchange rate" between real money and everquest2 money. I really liked this one. "

" I found this book really fascinating. I had no idea this type of thing existed. "

" A pretty astounding book that introduced me to virtual worlds and the people and economy that can crop up around them "

" nice, anecdotal story "

" How to live as a gold farmer and not-quite make it, but along the way provide a bunch of anecdotal validation for how much virtual worlds matter. Good if you believe in 'em, also good for someone who doesn't understand people who believe in 'em. "

" this is a pretty interesting little read about RMT (real money trading) on MMORPGS (Massively multiplayer online role playing games.) "

" Cool account of the underground world of virtual economies in massively multiplayer online roleplaying games. Supposedly the total GDP of the virtual world is slightly larger than Russia's "

" Another interesting book by Julian Dibbell. Disarmingly personal. Excellent literature review. Misleading subtitle - he earns millions of plat or something, not dollars. You leave somewhat disappointed that he wasn't wildly successful. "

" Interesting discussion of the economics of online games, and the dichotomy between work and play. "

" An interesting read, but ultimately it seemed like a really long magazine feature stretched into a book... too repetitive, and focused on just one game "
