    The “Preserving Virtual Worlds” project is led by the University of Illinois, which is where PLATO was developed. I wonder where future generations of game historians will come to believe virtual worlds were invented?

    The UK taxing of virtual goods profits thing is mainly a headline-grabbing piece for Blick Rothenberg, by the looks of things. Unless the view taken by the Inland Revenue has changed since I spoke to the Financial Services Authority earlier this year, they’re only interested in taxing any real-world profits you make from selling virtual goods; if you keep all your money virtual, they don’t care (yet – this kind of thing is always subject to review). That said, the fact that they’re looking at capital gains as well as income from the sale of virtual goods and services is different.
