    Players can just type /pizza when they are in the game and are led to the online ordering section of Pizza Hut to place an order. Shortly, you'll be able to pay for these orders via your monthly gaming bill. Everquest has 330,000 active players all over the world, so that’s potentially a lot of pizza.

    What’s wrong with strolling through such a mall as a virtual character in a role playing game? Instead of leaving the game to go to a pizza site, what’s wrong with going to a virtual pizza house and just saying what you want, either verbally, through a messenger service or by clicking a tab, to order the pizza? The transaction can then be carried out between the game operator’s server and the purchased goods server, in the background.

    What about games that are free as long as you spend more than $30 a month on purchases? It’s almost sure to come.
    Pure madness. Get dinner when your hungry, without leaving your fanasty world. Now... how to you get your pizza from the front door, without leaving your fanasty world...? :rolleyes: :p
