Very interesting read. But it seems like a big gamble to buy 8 copies and take 2 weeks off of work, in the hopes that this would all make any money. A big gamble paid off.

That's was a great and well written piece. I never even heard about SWG but it amazes me how these things come to life because of enthusiast and hard working players.

Yes one of the best article on video game I read. I thought it was already posted but no. So with all these ways of Eve Online I thought some people will like it.

We tried to do that with my corp in Eve but the logistic killed us even with 9 characters per player... In Eve you can learn the diplomacy, negotiation, management (and when you see the war machine in action of an alliance you can understand why).

Anyway in some games there are so many things to learn which can be transposed in real life.
