    So you've probably heard of Everquest and the like. Now, how about making money? The problem up to now has been that it's a bit like dealing drugs--it's illegal in everquest, so you end up having to get your customers through networking or hinting at it on ebay. But there are some MMORPGS that appear to be fine with it, Shadowbane the latest.

    Selling your character (or those stupid information guides) is kinda lame, but selling items and money seems fine to me. You can also do leveling services. The biggest problem is in delivering on time the goods. I think the real money could be made buying off others and offering an immediate delivery service with a markup. In Everquest, I bought off a place that had immediate text chat and deliver. But what's the best game to do it with? Everquest is clearly the biggest, but is unfriendly to auctions--you could even get banned and have all your stuff gone.
