tvalentine writes: i think the interviewer didnt do so well. His reactions and questions sounded like he thought of them right on the spot. A decent interview still. I woulda liked to hear a few questions as far as how the economy changed after the exploit was fixed, and how has iceland's economic downturn affected CCP. It is still really cool to see an actualy Economist commenting on a MMORPG economy. It just goes to show how massive the game is. Tue Mar 31 2009 2:05AM
