Oh come on, the SF banker MMORPG is undercut far too often in this post-capitalistic, post-materialistic, post-9/11 world.
The genius of the game arises entirely from the ingenuity of its player-base. Like you, I think too much (90%? 95%) of what the game brings to the table is caught up in economics. The writing is TERRIBLE. Like that quest you do for a black man running security, and the acceptance dialogue is "Sure can! My granny didn't raise no fool!"
...
The last thing I'll say of it: EVE is the only game I've seen where the actual structure of the data housed in the server and subsequent processes to access it for the MMORPG are embodied in the game itself. Which is cool and lame in the same breath.
