Games

Who else recalls Scotts attempt to load Second Life on the school computer? I did not realize it then, but there is another potential example of life on the web. Perhaps not the same degree as Second Life but still quite relevant and real. Massive multiplayer online role playing games or better known as MMORPGS. One well known example is World of Warcraft. Known for it's vastness, number of players and addicting habits. I refuse to play World of Warcraft (aka WOW) for one reason. It is expensive.
Yet there are other games, akin to WOW which I do play. First off they are free.
The one which I know quite well and use is known as Perfect World International. There are active online communities, games, events and while a library most likely would not make a character on a game like this it still might be interesting to see the results if a library sponsored a group of locals to all go onto a game, create a group of their own with the library as their sponsor, and see what happened.
