This is all incredibly good intel -- allow me to add another narrowing
criterion:
Can you recommend a place that is both a plausible setting AND somewhere
where you can introduce me to people who'll get me in to see factories,
bureaucrats, regular people, entrepreneurs, and other nooks and crannies?
Very plausible setting - Chennai.
What with investments in IT, ITES, the development of IT corridor, an
increasingly diverse population, and a small but very active gaming
community and a whole generation of school children spending all their
parents' disposable incomes at gaming places, gold-farming *might *actually
be happening in Chennai.
And, I could try and get you meeting a few people. A friend is a game
developer and entrepreneur and would definitely have the kind of contacts
you are looking at.
My father was, till recently, working at the Madras Export Processing Zone,
an SEZ. I could ask him to help as well.
