An interesting article on games

I found this article very interesting. Also it uses MUDs as an example so it is particularly relevant to our interests.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you for sharing, Slither. I found it interesting, albeit a little pretentious. Some of us enjoy playing cynical serial killers, doesn't mean we're like that in real life. I guess the message in the article has a much bigger scope and is generalizing.

Having played what I can only assume is the most murderous character in the history of Withmore--while also being a nice person in real life-- I agree, Villa.

Yea, a lot of us have jerks ICly, but aren't jerks in real life. :d

On the other hand, I do play as a medic in almost all the games I play (except SD).
