Life of a Chinese Gold Farmer

I saw this article about gold farming on Slashdot this morning, excellent reading.

In other gaming news, we're trying to get Tom Nook to upgrade to a Nookington's, which I think should have happened by now - he's been the Nookway forever. It means lots of raffle tix for June anyway :-) Both of us started second houses and mine is really shaping up (going for the lovely/regal look until the sets are complete). I'm just a couple of pieces away from completing the classic/ranch sets, and I'm putting a kitchen/cabin set in the basement, but I need my second house to have a basement first. It's really pathetic when your virtual basement looks a lot like the real one :-D
