OMG i remember this in WOW, people where jsut dropping dead,
i was playing a Shaman(means i can heal), and was doing my best to keep myself from dying,
and a low level friend, We had NO idea what was going on, WE stayed away from the big towns for days, until they patched the game,

now they want to study how people react to this struff in game to see how they will react in real life?


lol hard to explaing to non gamers, what the effect was on the gaming world in world of warcraft, We where playing on VENT( a voice chat program)
and people where swearing up a storm, and dying cost money even in the gaming world....

No matter what the environment, you still have people and their emotions involved. This would be useful to researchers as you can't predict what people are going to do.

Second Life experienced a bank run and ended up shutting down the bank. Be interesting to see what banking regulations they come up with.
