The Origins of Money in Diablo II

Thanks OP for posting that. I've long been fascinated by how the d2 economics work and it always looked to me like a very interesting environment to study economic behaviors.

I haven't opened the paper yet, but I hope d2jsp's FGs (diablo 2 community's third party fiat currency system) are included in the analysis as well.

Spoiler alert: it mentions d2jsp, but nothing about forum gold. That's a shame since it theorizes about social standing being used as a currency backing of sorts, so it hints at the idea.

I' just started reading it, and so far I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed how the author immediately tries to make it fit in Menger's framework…
