When I play games i want to be taken to another world, an interactive fantasy where you are the protagonist - the James Bond or the Aragon, out to rid the world of evil. Why would you get home from a day at the office to go and live a life in a virtual reality world that's quite similar real life. </p> I tried to get into The Sims when every man and his dog were playing the 'game' but couldn't understand why people would want to play it much like I do with Second Life.

I tried Second Life. Thought I'd go and find Neville's store. Tried and failed to get two computers to do my bidding. I suspect I need much faster graphics gear. Found it utterly timewasting and pointless with my kit. Gave up.

I agree with you about the name stuff. Given that I was forced into a surname, I chose 'Day' and called myself 'Lovely'.

Know anyone who wants to buy it?

Probably against the rules.
