Re: virtual property
You know, this is funny (actually sad is a better term). How telling is it that people are so disconnected from the real world as to basically LIVE in the lands of Evercrack?!
I HAD a friend who lost his wife, his job, and eventually, his mind. This guy had a promising future as a biomed repair specialist and a beautiful, loving family, yet threw everything away for the game. IMO, something like this needs to have a warning label. Evercrack has even spurred new psychological terms.
The fact that the virtual world of Evercrack is 77th on the list of GDP's gives it way too much legitimacy.
I feel sick for the people and families affected by this, and warn people that Evercrack, Drugs,...they can be exactly the same thing when they can assume control and focus of a person's life.
