"Verse Studios announced today that they have officially 'changed everything', with the release of their first game: Fool's Gold. Fool's Gold lets players take on the role of the heroic gold farmer seeking profit from gold hungry characters who seem to have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but never enough time to spend it. Touted as the first Gold Farming Role Playing Game ( GF-RPG ), Verse Studios hopes to get a jump on starting a new game genre. Fool's Gold is free for download off the Verse Studios website."

'or a Mac for ... looking sexy?'
Well some random girl commented on my sexy mac while I was at a cafe in the wee hours doing a little caffeine inspired coding one time.

Dude, chicks dig Macs. They look cool and they are more versatile when it comes to things like video editing, etc out of the box. Male slashdotters may be fine with an ancient beige box they built from dumpster dived or bargain basement parts, but some people like powerul, easy-to-use, aesthetically pleasing computers. Many

I think what's more insightful would be the introduction of a +5 Rich option (even just for April Fool's). Why have a karma injection without an additional cash injection (personally, I could use both

I love ProgressQuest, but it does get a bit static after you've played a couple of games. I like Role Playing Game [wealthandpower.org] better; it's basically ProgressQuest with more entropy. And it's open-source!

Yes, they actually made the game, and yes, it's crap. They did it as a joke. It was never intended to draw any audience whatsoever and it does not have any political statements to make.

Some people have less time and more money. Gold farming helps to balance the game play for them. The first thing that gold farming tell you is that the game has some sort of boring repetitive time sync task that needs to be eliminated. The is true of botting and macroing. Succeeding in a game should be a combination of luck and skill, syncing more time into the game shouldn't give you an edge
