I know this is going to sound lame, but I am fascinated by the Grand Exchange in *sigh* Runescape. It is modeled after the real-life stock market. I find it incredible.

Prices are based on demand. It's a dynamic economy, because prices rise and fall almost every day. A placed order is filled from everything available across all the servers, from oldest to newest.

Do any other MMOs have something like this?

Yes, VG, WoW, just to name a few.

Except you are not forced to use the GE in these games...

I could be completely wrong but isn't EVE like this too?
