Okay doc.

I'm sorry if I don't seriously answer your post, I just believe such discussion doesn't belong here, even though your argumentation is well built.

On my side I'm much more interested on social aspects of everquest. Some people play because they enjoying sharing with each other. Some play to forget about society. Some people compensate an inactive social life by an utterly active virtual life, etc.

There is a lot of grieving on p99, I do believe some players out solely trigger their satisfaction by grieving other players.

Anyways it's an interesting topic, starting EQ when I was 12 is what gave me the taste for commerce, 13 years later I'd graduate from my MBA from a top business school. Ehhh, gotta be thankful for that atleast.
Personally I think in the next couple decades most of our "real life" will be digital. Work, school, entertainment etc.

So its interesting to me to try to understand how we are going to integrate a "real" soceity into the virtual world. What repercussions will there be for going agains societal rules? What happens to the people who only want to cause grief? Fun thoughts.
