an example would be among other things, learning how to attract people to a cause, organizing people, becoming more aware of your available resources, learning to be more ....inquiring? about what's going on around you, and being more conscious of your own surroundings.
any form of play, be it sports, arts, even business, if viewed through some of the techniques adapted from gaming, can be enhanced to a degree, and improved on, improving your chance to succeed in whatever you're working on. i guess to sum it up, you learn how to pay more attention to things, than you did before any gaming experience.
even though its online? you also tend to get a better feel for how people respond, when you compare it to how people act in real life, so that's sort of another kind of insight you gain. Dealing with say, auction houses or open markets, while paying attention to real vs game currency rates, is another way of looking at the economy, and knowing the difference between what goods are being charged for, and what they're really worth.
