A real economist talks about virtual economies, including EVE Online and WoW.

Unusually good article for a game ezine.
Letting the demon do the work for me since 2004.
I play to some degree: WoW (EU now, US before), Guild Wars 2 (EU), SWTOR.

Yea, I noticed the economy in Eve is rather intricate... And you end up finding various places at various times having different demands. And you can actually push the market either way by offering up too much of one item... without other players purchasing anything.

That is one neat aspect of the game... the other is that you command a Frigate in space... and you blow up shit.
