Oh, Internets

Second Life affair ends in divorce

This is exactly why I don't participate in these kinds of sims/MMPORGS.

The last line of that article is what turned it into true *facepalm* for me.

I know the internet is a weird place, but MMOs seem to bring out some of the worst of it.

I just read the Fark thread about this story!

I haven't got the time for anything like this anymore... and these kids these days, I met [livejournal.com profile] mebil on a text-based MUD well before we even HAD MMORPGs...

Well, that's exactly why I wouldn't either. Now, give me a real fantasy world MMORPG, where there's genuinely a point and a mythology and things to do instead of just living out sad fantasies, well, I'll spend many happy hours in there, and keep the sex for the RL part :-)
