Tomorrow is May 1st, Labour Day.We may here wish all gold farmers who are painstakingly and unremittingly hustle around in game to earn their virtual golds,wish you guy all a happy Laboru Day.

Let‘s have a look at the situation of gold farmers.

"What�s sad is that they face a lot of prejudice from non-Chinese players who disdain their farming activities without quite understanding the socio-economic realities behind their choice of work. It�s just close-minded to look at the phenomenon and go �OMG SLAVE LABOUR.� Puh-leeze�I mean, given a choice between factory labour and playing games all day, which would you do? Clearly though, serious thought needs to be given the economic ramifications of MMOGs."
-----Originally from zestgames.com

As indicated in this article, gold farmers are a group of typical laborers in our online game industry. They‘ve made a choice to do this kind of job and provide service for many American players.May we say they‘re new labour style in the century? Anyway,on this traditional Labour Day, we sincerely wish all gold farmers a happy Labour Day, and hope they�ll take a comfortable rest before going back to work. You can visit our Chinese gold farmer interview here.

Besides, for all other MMO players, you may have some days off for this festival. We also wish you have fun in your favorite MMO games and around MMOsite.com!

About Labour Day:
"Labour Day was a Canadian invention Clifford Scotton/Canadian Labour/CALM.
The Canadian labour movement can justly claim credit for inventing Labour Day. Peter J. McGuire, one of the founders of the American Federation of Labor, has been traditionally known as the "Father of Labour Day." Historical evidence indicates that McGuire obtained his idea for the establishment of an annual demonstration and public holiday from Canadian trade unionists."
