  Dali claims he overheard guards bragging that they could make close to $1,000 a day off of the efforts of the inmates, none of which ever made its way into the hands of the workers. He also claims that certain quotas were set, and that those who didn't raise enough virtual cash would be physically beaten.

  LOL.

  I played WoW for a long time.
  
  Bought Cataclysm back in December, got to 85, started raiding, doing heroics, etc. with my guild, just like the previous expansions, and realized i was just over it. Loved Burning Crusade, WotLK was great, but i just couldn't do it all over again for Cataclysm. It is still a great expansion, but i'm just done with WoW. A great game, surely, but i was just bored with it, sadly. I got everything i wanted out of the game and more, had a blast and met some great people over the years, but sometimes you just have to call it quits.
  
  I'm playing RIFT now, love it.

  I thought about playing rift but none of my friends play it so I know I'd just get bored with it. I just started playing wow right before cata came out so I don't think I'll be bored with it for a while. Or at least until D3 comes out. And who knows when that will be.

  On the other hand, as a non-MMORPG (or whatever the fuck the acronym is) player, I'm playing Red Faction Guerrilla (a couple years old, but whatever). Awesome times. I love destroying shit and that's essentially the backbone of this sandbox-type game. Blow shit up and kill anyone who tries to stop you.
