Trust and the Digital Dollar

Mark Wallace looks at the economies of MMOs and the inherent level of trust forward-thinking economies like the one in EVE Online demand in this week's edition of The Escapist. Beginning by looking at Second Life, Wallace eventually gets back to (as he usually does) EVE online, where he discusses the trust that must develop between player-operated corporations and alliances in deep space. In EVE, there is no real protection from scamming and the developers even suggest such in the game's FAQ. As I've written here before, it's pretty progressive and Wallace's piece in The Escapist reaffirms that.
