Inflation threatens EverQuest economy
Real life and online fantasy worlds have at least one thing in common: economics. The company behind the online fantasy game EverQuest has started punishing players who have found a way to bend the game's rules and almost literally make money. The crackdown has happened because the huge amounts of virtual cash that people were pumping into the game world were threatening to bring the EverQuest economy to its knees. If left unchecked the influx of cash could have prompted hyperinflation and made it impossible for beginning players to get on in the game world.
