J views eBay-has breakdown -- 8:45 am CST, Update by The Master

Our roving news reporter J was spending some time yesterday snooping the net, and forwarded this rant for the audience:
Okay...wanna see how insane the world is? Go to eBay. Type 'Everquest' into the search field. Take a look at the auctions. Going on a tip from a recovering Evercrack addict, I did this tonight. Lo and behold, an account was going for $1125, with 15 bids so far, and it wasn't over yet!

What the hell is wrong with this picture? You can do the same for Ultima Online. I saw a castle that had been sold for $700!!! Who are these people? Hell, if they're gonna shell out this kinda dough for *fantasy* items, then they can afford to pay my school bills!

To all you Eversmack and Ultima Crack Online addicts: get help! This is unhealthy! Read a book, fercryinoutloud!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Web site.
Heh-that's why I don't do online virtual worlds-I remember waaaayyy too many people in college losing their lives to that stuff.
