According to survey that there are more than 2 million world of warcraft players in the US now. Probably there are also some people who don't know what an "MMORPG" is, if you belong to this group of people, don't worry, let's just say it's the most instantly gripping, involving and demanding entertainment technology ever invented. Its population in the world are increasing all the time, even doubling every two years.
With this popularity, world of warcraft now become an initial part of many people who addicted to it, no wonder it will change the future, now let's learn where will MMORPGs like world of warcraft take us?
1. Everyone will look like a Greek god or goddess.
If you don't understand the gravitational pull of an MMORPG like world of warcraft, I'm going to enlighten you with just a dozen words: You get to pick what you look like and what your talents are.
Much of the satisfaction for WoW gamers is in the very real sense of accomplishment they get, a person glowing with a burst of golden light when they gain a level in experience and strength. How can the real world compete with that? In the future, long after World of Warcraft has gone the way of arpanet, everyone will have a virtual-world twin. An upgraded, digital representative of yourself which I'll henceforth refer to as awesome You. And you'll see a time in your life when more people know Awesome You than know the real you.
2. All will play in the same virtual world.
Game operators will change the recent game situation to that online characters from one game could stride seamlessly into another.
Since online game changes all the time, players demand that some day each person's online identity be able to move from one realm to the next, from one game to another for convenience. And with that convergence of virtual worlds we'll have the first real, primitive incarnation of something not unlike the matrix, or what old science fiction authors called the metaverse. A simulated, virtual world.
In this way you won't have to be into fantasy to participate. You can spend your gaming time in a virtual suburb and build a virtual family and enjoy growing a virtual garden. It will still be mainly a game at this stage of its evolution, but as the experience is tailored to every single taste (all under one virtual roof) more and more people will participate.
3. Someone will go to jail for stealing a Bonebiter.
There were people who steal virtual items in the game, Should the thief be convicted of a crime and punished in the real world? Did you snort with laughter at that question? Even though the items was not made of metal or anything solid, but lots of people pay special attention to them as in real life.
If you say, "but the Bonebiter doesn't even exist," I'll say it exists in exactly the same way that the songs and software I download off Bittorrent exist. And yet, stealing them is a crime. The only difference is that when I steal a song, nobody else is deprived of the song. When that guy stole John's Bonebiter, he was left unarmed and forced to go find a replacement. So when will we start to see laws prohibiting the theft and misuse of game-world objects? As soon as members of the gaming generation become lawmakers, that's when.
4. You'll meet someone who plays an MMORPG for a living.
There are game currency being traded for real currency, and at a better exchange rate than the Iraqi Dinar. When you search from Google wow gold or buy wow gold, there will be lots of wow gold selling sites who sells world of warcraft game gold. Where does this game gold come from? If we go further, We can know there are people who working full time to gather in-game gold by slaying gold-shitting squirrels and then exchanging it for real dollars to pay the real rent with.
Of course there are also some other aspects the World of Warcraft will change our future life, if you have different opinions, welcome to share with us.
