    Try There out for yourself! You can create a free 3 day free trial. The client is a small 65MB and the download is about 15 minutes for broadband.

    I can't stop until the whole world worships There as a god. Ok, i'm kidding. At one time you liked There, you were in beta right? Tell every one how wonderful it is!

    I'm up for advertising your favorite game/MMORPG, but the fact that you're trying to make it sound better than everything else, kinda' gets on my nerves.

    Thanks! Let's get dirty and see if There is worth it or isn't. Either way, I'm not going to make it a political dilemma or anything

    Click on the Inbox in the top-right hand side of your screen, the click on the icon COMPOSE MESSAGE.

    From there, it's straight forward.

    I think game makers have strayed so far from the essence of what computer gaming means to most people.

    Gaming means you can sit down once a week for a few hours and have some laughs blowing up virtual stuff.

    Violence is a major part of gaming because you can't kill people in RL.

    But games are turning more and more into second lives. Look at the name of the game "Second Life" why would I need a second life. Instead of making video games, they are making second lives for people whose first lives are so dysfunctional that they need a second life as a social outlet.

    There are some scary people playing online games. By scary I mean unshaven, living in a basement, barely scraping a living, spending 20+ hours a week in front of a computer, barely see anyone or KNOW anyone other than the pizza delivery guy (who they no longer have to talk to after the /pizza command.)

    I think it's a horrible trend and an unhealthy one, and it will backfire, both on the player and on the market, for the same reason that Phillip Morris is trying to hold market share.
