Although Walter's idea does have one major advantage, you wouldn't need admins to take care of noobs. Just pistol whip their cade breaking asses.

HAHAHA!! After today I would definitely say that I would have great pleasure in doing so!

The Surrogates?

Haven't heard of it.

Should remind you of like, matrix though..

The Surrogates is a graphic novel being made into a movie starring bruce willis, although, from what I've seen of the trailer, they seem to be deviating from the novel so I don't have high expectations for it. The thing that makes me think of it more than the matrix is you can change your appearance (or gender) in the surrogates. You plug into a robot body instead of a computer pretty much.

I only read the beginning of it (it was my friends copy), but it was pretty cool.

Sounds interesting. If the movie comes out I'll definitely check it out.

I remember one of my old friends and I were talking about what would happen if a virtual reality version of FF came out, and our conclusion was that the end of the world would be upon us. No one would sleep, take breaks, or anything, they would probably be hooked up to feeding tubes and live their entire lives on it.

In fact, there was a case in Japan or somewhere near there, where a man tried to kill himself because he was so addicted to World of Warcraft, and because of that it became a disease in Japan or wherever it happened. Like alcoholism.

Or something along those lines..

Few Koreans died playing mmo's, didn't they?

[Jeimuzu]

I think so.

Though I've been addicted to a few games to the point where I would go days without sleep, in games such as Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, Warcraft 3, and Zelda OOT, so I can see how it can start to ruin peoples' lives if it persists.

I.E. My cousin. He deleted my character in Oblivion.. -_-' Was ready to whack him over the head.

Luckily though, I'm home schooled, ftw. So game addictions are something I can afford to have.

Uh i would get addicted a bit mmos make me lose interest when i get to the "grinding" parts. Those are when you repeat stuff over and over like just to level my friend said he would get another friend to afk for him so he could get tons of exp.
