This popped up on today's RSS feeds, along with this article: "The truth about IGE and the gold industry."

Quite an interesting read, apologies if this has been posted, didn't see it via search.

Makes you realize just how organized and widespread RMT has become- it also doesn't bode well for the future of player controlled MMO economies.

Anyway, posted as a heads-up/news item, not intended to fuel another pointless 'rmt is teh devil' thread.

Banished to Zam! Except that's a really good read, so you're off the hook.

OFN, and posted about 3 times already, but nonetheless a good read, as most of them just linked to the Alla page at the end.

That really was a good read. Thanks.

I have a new plan.

I will make up a fake community site for FFXI. It will have message boards, quests, mobs, and other such information. After 6 months to a year IGE will buy out my site for millions.

Time to start selling out!

<php?
include "page.php";
import_request_variables("gcp");
...

Selling out is hard work...

[Seebo]

Wow, that was pretty interesting. The Flash Video of how <en started was kinda funny too

[Huggo]

If Septimus is making a FFXI site it better have Galka pr0n. And if so, I'm there.

I heard you can get Walahraar Turban by trading 1000 bronze coins to some npc.

IGE found an Allakazam in a ??? Box.

If IGE offered this site 10k dollars, would you guys take it?

Depends whats in the contract. Very rarely is it "here, 10k, give us the database and domain name"
