Eve online is much better then most MMOs, in terms of study potential. But I have a feeling it's economy is still a bit artificial. EVE also was not designed with study in mind. However, I've never played it, so I may be wrong.
Another issue is getting economists on board with studying MMOs, while some are enlightened enough to do so, academics tend to be a stodgy lot.
But I think with sufficient study of MMOs, we should be able to solve all the disagreements among economists, and move the field from being a theoretical science, to an empirical one.
