  "account": "Three journalists attempted to make as much gold as possible in the beta version of World of Warcraft: Forever within a two-hour time frame. Each had a different strategy. The Orc of Wisdom used his extensive roleplaying experience to trade knowledge with players, while Majestic Celebrity relied on his celebrity status in the gaming community. The third participant, Boeuf Beef, had a secret plan of his own. Boeuf successfully made a significant profit through wisdom-based interactions with other players. Majestic Celebrity's strategy was less successful due to his lack of experience with the game.",
