Why does second life get so much press? Its just an mmo version of the sims, and only has ~65k subscribers. This puts it well behind at least a dozen other MMOs that never get any press, with the exception of WoW.
As for the taxing gold. Good luck with that. It has no value and can be created at will by people in game and by Blizzard. Its in game value is about 1/10th what it was 2 months ago, try explaining why to someone at the IRS trying to maintain an exchange rate who has never played an MMO.
I blame second life and its real money <-> game money conversion. If it wasn't for the IRS would leave the rest of the gaming world alone with our piles of imaginary money.
