    We had EVE Online, which i never bothered with so my info here is 2nd hand, but in that game you could fly space ships and engage in a fantasy sci-fi MMO universe.

    People were working in banks there. Full on 9-5 jobs in a game about space.

      How do you imagine space exploration would be?

      "Now you can also help discover space

      ~by working as a minimum wage welder in the bottom of this ship~"

      The bankers will just have a per solar system stock market the way we are heading

      Eve is still kicking. Good game, but why the hell would people want to work in a bank? I mean there were a few headlines about it basically being a massive scam and the guy who did it, bought himself an entire fleet. And dared people to get him.

      Eve attracts a certain type of people.
