I can't imagine that Project Entropia hasn't been discussed to death
here in my absence, but they seem really intent on trying to make a
game/world where in-game dollars translate into real- world cash,
and with a stock exchange in the game.

Given the problems my prior companies had just getting $10 bucks a
month charged to a credit card reliably, this scares the bejeezus
out of me, but it ought to be interesting to watch.
