Re: Thank God For SE IV.
I traveled about the same route. I joined a players group and we ended up with a nice city. I found a niche for myself as kindof an entertainer (doing real songs and jokes, not just the pre-programmed ones) and being a delivery guy betwen our player city and the game-built main city. Oh yeah, I also invented a "surveyers library" with creative use of a sales bot.
Still, at some point (I think I got sick or something) I fell off for awhile. I realized most of my stuff was gone and decided it wasnt worth going back.
All in all its not bad as an ongoing world for a virtual life. I think thats part of the problem that MMORPGs are fighting now. If its exciting, then its not a realistic world. And if its realistic then its not exciting. The word "virtual" means almost as good as. And virtual work, is still work.
