Why does anyone live in a virtual world? Would you like to live in a virtual world? Would you prefer virtual to real? When does virtual become reality? or indeed which comes first... reality? or virtual?
I live on a continent, which has land and water, in a house on our resort which my partner owns. Here, we live with our 4 pets. We also share a part of our home with other people who like to live here by renting out parcels to help pay for the overall land costs.
Yes, this world has a currency, continents, land with road you can drive on, water which you can sail, sky you can fly around, land owners, tenants, stores, builders to make things for stores. So much we can relate to in the real world.
I believe there is a curiosity, a need, a dream, an imagination... something which holds us in the virtual reality, within the current of this collective that is the community within.
