I was thinking more along the lines of a matrix-like virtual reality where we're basically astral brings in another world. That way games wouldn't be limited by attributes of humans and such, and it would make way for some epic games.
I already know what my residual self image would be.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I think both would be cool. 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.
James, your idea reminds me of The Surrogates.
"An Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II flew a show of force and expended flares for emphasis over Salerno after enemy forces attacked a coalition forward base. The arrival of the aircraft prompted an immediate retreat by enemy personnel."

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?
