But initially, i would like to see a virtual 3D high st. of vendors, exchange facilitators, service providers etc, that i can 'walk' into and interact and/or trade with, as well as other participants.

Last time i tried Second Life was years ago, so have no idea how doable or in-vogue this may be. Did they run into regulatory problems?

I just think it would serve the non gamers amongst us, and possibly offer an interesting slant for exchanging and moving value around, as well as exchanging information.

Stereotype, this is excellent stuff. Just based on my own experience, there should always be a 'game within a game'. In other words, if you wanted to be a merchant, you could always look for arbitrage opportunities on the asset exchange and chat in game with other vendors. Your hands would never have to lift a sword or dodge dragon fire. Stay comfy by the inn's hearth, striking deals and building your own little empire. Stereotype, this is excellent stuff.

Might even open a room out the back of the inn, for beer, hog roast, and wenches.....for a nxt fee, of course!
