i think this is brilliant even though it is just making us more isolated as a culture by never having to leave the house...but as far as a business goes think if only 1/8 of the EQ population, which there is over 300,000 wants a pizza order the course of a month geezz...some serious profit.

yeah jfet pointed me in the direction of that comic awhile back and i thought it was a joke to...man...i do know that sony and various other companies are looking to expand this..the first part is repeat the second part is horror read at your own risk...pregnant women and men with heart problems and sully should not read any further.

Type the command "/pizza" while playing Everquest II, a fantasy game with 330,000 active players, and get the Pizza Hut Web site, where you can place orders for delivery. Chris Kramer, spokesman for Sony Online Entertainment, said he believes this is the first time a game accepts orders for real-world items. Sony plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game, so players can charge pizza to their monthly game subscription bill.

"The goal for the future is to eventually let people do more things like this," Kramer said. "They could type /harry potter and get the new Harry Potter book delivered or /star wars and get the new Star Wars DVD." Many games incorporate ads and product placements, but such opportunities are limited with fantasy games like Everquest. Though the new pizza feature might satisfy appetites, caution is required as the game doesn't pause while you're ordering. "You wouldn't want to order pizza in the thick of combat, but anywhere that's safe is a good place," said Kramer.
