I bumped into a player I hadn't seen for well over a year on msn. I asked what he'd been up to recently and he told me how he was busy making money from playing some other mud and that's why he hadn't been around. I was interested to hear how he was making money and how much he was actualy able to gain from it. After hearing more and actually working out the hourly rate he was managing to make I decided that really it seemed far more efficient in terms of time/financial gain to become a fries cook at McDonalds.
But I guess he enjoys it and some people just can't get past the OMG I'm getting paid to play games all day long thing. I think some peopel just try to justify their gaming addictions. It's sad that games can become commercialised in this way, it really does create a whole new kind of atmosphere within a mud.
