I like this quote from Nate Combs:

"In the long run, virtual worlds that intend to support (real money trades) may want to manage--if not operate--that process themselves," said Nate Combs, an editor of Terra Nova, the leading Web site about online games and virtual worlds. "I believe that what we may see ultimately emerge is an eBay model among such virtual worlds where the core market--and data--is owned or controlled by the center but where third parties are able to value-add and innovate via add-ons regulated via a 'developer program.'"
