Didn't mean to imply Entropia was directly like gold farming in other 
mmos (I have researched it a bit in the past, as well as games like 2nd 
Life), but just used that term collectively for 'making money in a mmo' 
;). It might be something she could do, but again if it's not too 
competitive or overflowing with stats/numbers. I guess there's no end to 
the muppets out there who are willing to pay for virtual currency & 
items! <G>

Cool. So, LOTRO doesn't even tickle your fancy a bit? Have you tried it 
as yet?
