Much has been made of Second Life as an economic system--particularly the fact that virtual money can be converted to (and from) actual cash. But do the same rules of economics apply in a virtual world? How are the formulas changed by things like unlimited copies of items, or land that they are, in fact, making more of? And if you can make a RL living off of Second Life--would you really want to? Join CyFishy Traveler at the Saturn Grill to discuss these and other questions about the economy of Second Life.
10:00 AM today at Quantum Fields.
