I fear you'll be disappointed, since the business structure is not exactey formed yet, but you can always try to contact him at charlie@unknownworlds.com. Allow some time for the reply.

Jragon I did business studies GCSE about 3 years ago, and I dont think natural selection has any sort of business structure that is going to be applicable to your course.

If you want really good business turn to diablo2:

It is all about business and trading and stuff....

Only person from gravity Inc whose name I remember is Christy Kay. She is/was the main iRO GM. I would link you to prontera.net who had a lot of the info about Gravity's staff and stuff, but it's not up any more.

I used to know a lot about the game and Gravity Inc, but it's been so long since I was in the loop.

Can't you just do sainsbury's or something like everyone else?

Christy is long gone, as far as I know. At the very least, she doesn't run iRO like she used to. There are quite a few GMs now.

Honestly, I don't think RO is a good place to do that. Simply put, the people who sell stuff are idiots. I mean it.

I mean, the "street price" according to most, is whatever price they see items vending for. In reality, its far lower. If those items were being vended for a decent price, they would have been sold already! This basically continues in an upward trend, so pretty much everything is grossly overpriced.

Not to mention the players in RO are so paranoid and impressionable, its funny. I recall a time back in Beta 1, where someone just, out of the blue, said Creamy's no longer drop Fancy Flower headgear. This created a market-wide panic. For some reason, people beleived him that Creamy's no longer drop Fancy Flowers at ALL, so overnight, Fancy Flowers were selling for 100x or more than what they were the previous day.

I've studied the RO economy. Its like an economy run by chimpanzees. You don't wanna do it.

weggy, i believe Jragon meant the merchandising of RagnarokOnline...not iRO's internal market... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Y'know...dem plushies and figurines and game cards and the mindless attraction of lil kiddy/chimpanzees to it... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well, that wasnt the impression I got.

Regardless, there really... is no market except in Japan/Korea. Even then, it isn't really any different from any other MMO.
