Okay, I was thinking of the dangers of MXO, think about it, if it is as in depth and revolutionary as the hype says, what if people got so wrapped up in this game where they interact with real people, talk to real people, live what is basically a virtual life, what's to stop it becoming like the matrix, with billions of people hooked on it, until it becomes their world and they cease all contact with the real world and eventually die, still at their computers, basking in the pale green glow of their monitors, and the only life they have is on their game? stop me when this gets too involved.

Think aboot it, if MXO is as in depth as everyone says, where you can interact with other people, create a persona for yourself, and it never gets old, and you never die, wouldn't some crazy Mofos choose to live in this world instead of their real life?

There's probably bound to be some people with no life out there whom this would happen to. Me, for instance.

they couldn't get sucked in completely. they have to pay to play and they have to pay for bills and they have to eat. but they probably forget to eat though. but without paying for bills and stuff theyed have to stop. unless they are hackers and can get around that.

Read the book "Snow Crash"
It's similar to what you're saying, only humans never become complete slaves to the virtual world....sort of.... anyway, read it b/c it's a great nerdy fun book 
Closer to topic:
Great thought, Sparky. I see how it could be possible, but wouldn't it have to be humans who end up enslaving other humans? Perhaps this is how I could gain the power to rule the world....hmm.... Uh, no one steal my idea, ok?
