Creativity and New Media

Through New Media came the development of Virtual Worlds and video games. An extremely popular massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) was something I played at a very young age. It took real world concepts and incorporated it into a fantasy type game that had a truly global footprint. It was a virtual world that enabled you to customize your character, gain skills to unlock new items and interact on a daily basis with people all over the world. 

I have not played in years but you can literally do anything from fishing, cooking, archery, trading as long as you have the time. 

Here are some screenshots of the game and its possibilities:

  1. Runescape? Wow, I remember this. I loved that it incorporated real life concepts with a fantasy world. Only problem with games such as Runescape is that it's really easy to binge play. It becomes extremely addicting. Definitely a nice escape though.
