Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot by Julian Dibbell

4.0

Fun gonzo piece about one man's attempt to earn a living from MMOs. While it's a bit dated now (his main source of income was Ultima Online), it provides a great insight into how this business works and some of the people who were involved in it. Has a great section where he tries to hunt down an early gold farm. Very entertaining read which sheds a lot of light on the realities of the economies of these large scale games.
