I haven't read the book, but I came across the articles today and found them really interesting. I was reading the interview with Richard Bartle, the inventer of the first MUD, and the excerpts from the book about the development and launch of Ultima Online. It's really cool stuff. Though I never played the game, it was a lot of fun to read. Check it out here: http://archive.gamespy.com/dreamers/ The more I think about, I think I'm going to always love online gaming, even when I don't have time for it I'm reminded by how much fun it is having an alter-ego and the social aspects of it. KGB for life!

It's not that life is so bad that I need to escape it's just that they are so fun, and actually with mmo's I am more social there than in RL, so it is really more of a sport than an escape, with some roleplaying thrown in.
