Nick,

My name is Jian Zhang. I am a part of Samsung technology assessment
and planning group.

Have you come across economic and charging issues for MMOG in your
surveys?  Today, most of commerce and fee based transactions among
players take place outside of the game in such marketplaces as
eBay. Such transactions are not only inconvenience for the players
and in many cases illegal but also unsecured and opportunity loss to
the game developers. Would it make sense to develop technology to
support in-game commerce?  - Jian
