Your article peaked my interest, so I did a little Googling.
MindArk is selling planets, and in 2009, that game had an equivalent GPD of 422 million USD. That puts it at 20th in the world, between Norway and Sweden.
To even get started in that game, you have to spend money. Money does not fly out of corpses like it does in Maplestory.
Holy pineapple. Talk about game addiction.
