4 yuan = 50 cents
so 2 yuan = 25 cents
25 cents = 2 bits
so a yuan is a bit
MPK?

How do I know this?
I have been folowing this whole thing from before I played MMONRPGs and the sweatshops were in Mexico farming whatever they spend in Everquest.
There was an article in Wired, the print mag, about this way back when Everquest was the 2,000 gorilla.
Much of the rest comes from keeping up with things through print and online sources.
One of the good things about GameFAQs, the news about the gilsellers, their in game cohorts the sweatshop Gil farmers, and anything else related to the subject gets a link posted FAST.
I was looking for a MMONRPG to get into. One of the atractive things about FFXI was the ToSA, which banned the practices that supports a small, highly exploiting indurstry.

Well, I guess I'll post my MPK experience. Here goes:
A friend and I were in Palborough Mines getting Kazham keys for another friend, and this really high level guy comes in with a huge train of quadav. They kill me and the guy who needs keys, and the other guy manages to zone. Just when we think everything is all right, he comes in again with yet another train of quadav and kills us all. >.< (I forget how we got raised the first time so don't ask. =P)
I do not recall this experience having anything to do with gilsellers, but it might. Maybe I just don't know, I'm no expert. ^^; I remember my friend (the one who didn't need keys, I think) said the guy who MPK'd us was out to kill all the competition or something like that...he did kill a whole lot of people, not just us, and some had zoned to the dragon fight place, and they were all mad at him... this was a while ago, don't remember too well. ^^;
Edited because in the original version, the grammar was atrocious and practically nothing was capitalized. I have no idea why I once wrote like this, so don't ask...
