The Guardian newspaper has this article on the role between online gaming and virtual currencies.
The Guardian highlight that the World of Warcraft represent the next phase in human social evolution.
‘I recently described the auction website eBay as an example of the new governance structures that have emerged with the world wide web. But I knew I was stretching the argument: online game environments such as World of Warcraft are better fits for that kind of mental exercise. Although eBay has its own sovereign communication system (Skype) and currency (PayPal), the game worlds have an additional element that makes them far more powerful: community. They have people who gather and form new social orders.’
