I can do so many thing that I always want to do but couldn't

Online video game brought probably one of the major income toward online industry. It would be cool if Blizzard change all their revenu from online role playing game into coin and swim in it. Anyway, I am not a big fan of this type of entainment. but I guess for those people who spend most of the days throughout the week to make the projected inner self stronger would speak other-wise.

I believe that the reason why people play role play online game has several. Of course one is simply entertainment. After comming out from a discussion with a friend over dinner just then, his idea about these sort of game are mainly because of the pleasure of achieving certain status in what the actual world could provide. I enjoyed the conversation because Video game study is part of his Honor degree and his points were quite valid.
As far as Multi Player Online Role playing game goes, it could easily be define as one form virtual community. The importance of share language, avater, knowledge are all taken account into, in addition to that is the goal where every player wanted to achieve. Its different from traditional Narration driven type of game. the Story level of these games are not as strong or even none. Which is the players/users who created that story within themself. Its a creation of manipulation for manipulation. At the end of the day, people would still be player under certain program which was contructed by a group of people, but these program are design for people to manipulet the action within it.
I guess the addiction of it is the feeling of return from investment. The joy of achievement. Of cos the eoconomic contain both on/offline, game play may also lead to actual money. I just wonder sometime that I won't be happy to be put in a box. Eventhough its big, but still, the flower is always prettier when they are real~
