(http://www.danwei.org/2007/12/26/JDM071226zt2.jpg) With the caption: Paying to open a treasure chest is ZT Online's lottery, "like a casino slot machine." That right there is fucking brilliant. BRILLIANT I TELL YOU. Fuck, I wish I'd thought of it.

In this world, the authority to bully others and the legal right to harm them are both for sale.

After I finished reading it, I wondered what took this woman so long to realize that the goal of the 'system' is to milk them for all they're worth?
