The Daily Grind: Which MMO Offers the Best Shopping Experience?

We’re talking in-game shopping here, mind you, not Photoshop or cash shop or workshops or whatever.

I’ve joked before – not entirely jokingly – that one of my favorite in-game MMORPG activities is shopping, especially in games where the shopping experience is traveling to people’s homes or merchants. I think of games like Star Wars galaxies, Ultimate OnlineAnd EverQuest II, although I actually enjoy the thrill of auctioning in games that are limited to it too. Honestly, I enjoy scrolling through the listings, popping into stores and comparing prices as well as checking out the game’s economy. Something like that could get me in trouble in the real world, but fortunately this is just fake video game money – and it gives me a good reason to bother making money there too.
