    On line games

    have interested me ever since I celebrated my birthday on-line in Runescape. My kids were at after school care, and I was at home. I received many beautiful gifts (which were eventually stolen from me).

    I am an adult woman who plays World of Warfare. The goal is get my kids to take a break from playing it and be aware of what goes on. I believe that people are creative in these games and anything can be done. Of course, any plan can be foiled by someone else suddenly coming along and killing your avatar. As one writer suggests, players get so addicted that they might forget the real world. It is certainly easier to fight and make explosions in a virtual world.
