Hopefully they find a better advertising model than bots standing in trade areas spamming their advertisements constantly. I for one, would not mind embedded advertising so much, so long as it was tastefully done. I still havent figured out why major mmo companies have not figured out the potential for revenue there. Anyway, if they are gonna advertise their gold sales, I hope they do it tastefully.

Said it once, I'll say it again. The ONLY reason game companies care about gold farmers is that THEY are not getting a cut of the action...now they are!

When are they going to do an IPO so I can invest?

Yes, MMORPG.com confirmed this yesterday. I posted an article about it this morning but since this section doesn't handle links elegantly, I'll let everyone else go find it.

Seeing how this goes will be very interesting indeed.

By they way, this news was featured on WSJ. If nothing else, you can be sure the money's there, or they wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.
