Life - the new MMO

If life were an insanely complex sandbox MMO, in which you could only create and play as one character, how would you play it? What stats would you want to develop for your character? What skills and sub-skills would you master, and what trade would you choose? What imaginative environments would you build? What kind of quests would you be drawn to? What type of characters would you party with to do great things together? How many reliable players would you add to your friend list? How would you play and interact to where other players thought you worthy of THEIR friend list? Would you join a guild? What type of guild, and what qualities would you look for it in its leadership? Or would you start a guild yourself, and lead them all toward a common purpose inspired by your great vision? How many places would you visit, how much of the game would you explore? And WHAT would you WEAR?

So then think...
What would our world would look like if people believed anything was possible, wanted to help create and enjoy the best game imaginable, and played hard? What kind of collaborative wonders would we accomplish? How many problems could we solve? How much of what we see as mundane would suddenly seem worthwhile and enjoyable in pursuit of reaching the next level? How many challenges and stresses would we face in our adventure that would inspire the DESIRE to struggle and overcome, rather than crippling anxiety and fear, if only we could see it that way?

Gamers... Game on.
