Wiki-Wiki

So I set off on an adventure through the world of Wikipedia this morning, trying to locate a subject that could really hold my attention. This sort of trip is always entertaining, as there are so many things to explore and learn once you pull up Wikipedia's page. It always seems like you could pour hours in just clicking all the embedded links in each article and have them take you to all sorts of places to learn new and exciting things. I have done this before, and within a dozen clicks, it's interesting to see that you are on a topic that may be quite different from the one you originally started with.

Today I came to the topic of Massively Multiplayer Online Games, which are also known as MMO's or MMOG's. The article so far is quite thorough and provides a great deal of information. Although with the size of these games and the immense populations they are beginning to create, I think there could be a lot more provided here.

One area that I thought initially could be beeefed up a little, was the economies these games have created and how those affect the real economy outside of the game.

I think I will gather some more information and facts regarding this and see if I can't update this article to provide more information on these economies.
