The article gives real life an Editor's Choice award, focusing on issues such as leveling up ("Typically, a character will learn of the numerous viable career paths available by undergoing schooling. This can be a long and tedious process, equivalent to the sort of 'level treadmill' monotony that characterizes almost all MMORPGs") and player death ("..a serious issue in real life, and cause for continued debate among players, who often direct unanswerable questions on the subject to the game's developers.")

Obviously, the amount of time one spends in an online "life" is time spent away from real life. Turn the game off, go outside and enjoy the real life -- problems and all.
I wonder who among us would have written on his tombstone: I should have spent more time online.

To mod this down overrated. This idiocy of 'creationism' may be part of our culture, but so was slavery. If the day would come where nobody would know about those fairy tales.
