Ran across this interesting article from CNET about the economy that has sprung up around Everquest. An associate professor of economics at Cal State Fullerton recently completed a study in which he concluded that that players “earn” an average way of $3.42 for every hour they play the game and collectively product annual gross “exports” of more that $5 million.
If the Everquest universe of Norrath were a country, its per-capita gross national product would be $2,266 — comparable to the 77th richest country on Earth.
Makes you go “hmmmmm….”
