Having played DAoC for about 3 years, I thought MMORPGs got more and more complicated the higher a character levelled up. But what these games really have helped me with is patience. Trying to level my crafter all the way to the top took over a month. Achieving a very high status took several months. As a result this indirectly transferred over to my poker which I also learned that in order to well took many hours of patience.

As for making money, I wouldn't say that it's not possible, but definitely not as profitable as poker. There are many 3rd party companies who sell online currency, loot, and even characters for real money...cough..ebay..cough. But then again I like to play for fun and bragging rights. I'll stay with my day job and poker for money.
