I absolutely agree with KGBman.. I was beginning to play Linage 2 and have many friends who played it or  plaing it for many years. I can tell you that every single MMORPG is a life-replacement, not only Second Life, a cage for a conscious, it makes people very passive.

No doubt big corporations are making huge investments in this kind of games, they are able to gain millions people under total control, it's the easiest way to get such a big influence so cheap. this is not the end of the story, virtual life is going to be harsh reality, a big problem of the future society.
