I love MMOOTG's!

Been wasting all my time playing Civ all these years when I could have been playing the mother of all strategy games...

Paper Money Stock Market!



Are these like theoretical dollars? Even laughing baby isn't worth that much!

Imageshack isn't working for me...

Yah, it's being crappy today.

Sadly... no. That would still be $5.5m USD. This is paper money, which is the "fake" money you play with on paper trading accounts. It's like being on a PvE server...

Still a fun game. I'm considering going to a PvP server soon though. Just want to level up my toon a bit more if you know what I mean.

No

Sorry! Teh administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 30 seconds.

To continue the analogy, doen't you need different skills to thrive on a PvP server compared to a PvE server?

[Aeson]

Actually, no. MMO's are usually set up so that you realistically only need one set of skills to thrive on any type of server (other than RP). Mainly, that skill set consists of:

1. Being able to go long periods of time without taking bathroom breaks.
2. Having the physical capacity to press a series of buttons in a fluid, predetermined rhythm.
3. Not falling asleep too much while doing so.

On RP servers thou mayest, hither and forthwith, find need for:

1. The ability to roll a girl toon and not make fun of nerds too much.
2. Not to fall in love with (and subsequently trade all your "worldly" non-bound items to) any girl toons who don't make too much fun of you.

I suppose you could make a case that RP #2 applies as well to the PvP Market. Not while you're in the game, but once you leave it.
