the only people who get richer are those with near-unlimited (dug out of ground type) resources: shieks, oligarches, oppresive dictators, robber barons, US members of congress, neo-cons, etc....   
everyone else wonders where the next crumb of food is coming from, or even if they will ever see a job again...

look at it this way...
CCP last year or so bought White Wolf... how did they do that?
Well one needs loans from a bank... pretty sure CCP uses an Islandish (sp?) bank.
Since all the banks in Iceland have FAILED! and had to Get Russia of all places to front to bill to the United Nations most devloped country! so that they could out of the shitter....
means untill Iceland has paid back Russia... Russia by proxy owns CCP and its investments.....
Something tells me that the MMO Lobby in Russia is very stong!

Ouch, this is the biggest hit to any country since all of this happened. I hope this doesn't get any worse. We are only 3 weeks into the fall, and this has already happened :( --------------

The way i see it, CCP has their main HQ in Iceland, with offices in Shanghai (China) and Atlanta (US). While us over the pond here are screwing about with our own economy (/me shakes teh angreh fist at the gov't), we're not in any danger of going bankrupt. And China is nowhere near going under.
So, worst case scenario, CCP jumps to either London, the US, or China. We as players still get our beloved game, servers are relocated, connection times change for everyone...

No, think about it. Oil by itself is just a sticky mess in the yard. Iron ore makes a nice conversation piece on the lawn, but eventually is simply Meh. Level 1 economies are some of the poorest in the world. Level 2's get to process it. Who makes the cash off the purfume? The flower grower (level 1)? The person who made it into perfume ( level 2)? Or level 3, the retailer? None of the above. Level 4, the one who sold the retailer a brochure telling him where the best suckers to pawn it off on live:D ____ English doesn't borrow from other languages; it follows other languages down dark alleys, coshes 'em, then rummages in their pockets for loose bits of grammar. |

Just 2 days ago I met a neighbour while out for a awlk, an elderly woman in her 60s, and we got talking about savings and are they safe etc, so I advised her to immediately contact her savings bank and ensure her savings were guarnteed, and if not withdraw and put into a bank that had explicit guarntees etc...
Now, 2 days later, we see 300,000 UK based savers in the scheise, the UK banks are being part nationalized, Iceland's banking sector is bust, and we are staring over the precipice into a seemingly bottomless pit.
Ah, the free market, what a wonderful way to scare the living daylights out of the vast majority of ordinary working people

"The measures came after the country's currency, the krona, plunged by 30 percent against the euro on Monday." yes fanfest and the cost of buying beer at fanfest will be a lot cheaper.

Icelandic Banks Yes , Iceland No . The Icelandic government decided on not helping the banks with an injection of the capital they needed at the risk putting the Icelandic people into 2-3 generations of debt. The Icelandic government itself is nearly debt free.
