It's the videogame that reminds me most of "Ready Player One" which is a pretty fun read.
One of my life goals is to do some studies on EVE (most likely economics). I'll convince someone it's a good idea eventually :)
Edit: Maybe do a study on terror cells and get military funding :P
- omnibrain 13y agoCCP Games, the developers of EVE already have a resident economist Dr. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson (aka CCP EyjoG). If you search for his name you can find some interviews and presentations. I think he pretty much lives an economists dream.
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoFun fact: intelligence agencies actually got funding to infiltrate into MMO's because there might be terrorist communications in there. Or something. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/09/tech/web/nsa-spying-video-games/ http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/09/tech/web/nsa-spying-video-... Eve is a valid subject for an economics research though. It'll be doubly fun if you can join up with a large corporation and engage in market schemes; pump & dump, blocking supplies / trade routes, social engineering, or doing your own ponzi scheme. The good part is that none of these are illegal in Eve, so, knock yourself out.
- clarky07 13y agoPretty sure this is already a thing. I think some major universities have done some studies on/using EVE. I don't currently have any links though sadly.
