Video games and the Law of One

[Ali Quadir]

The players we are killing though are actually other people playing the game, so now a soul is being infringed upon however this soul knows it has entered the battle ground and is expecting to fight, so you are npot upsetting that person reallly. so where does this leave us?

Like I said, research indicates that players enjoy dying in video games. Actually even more than killing. This means that even defeat is entertainment to them. And that's logical, a game isn't enjoyable if there is no chance for defeat. There has to be a challenge this is the entertainment. So by defeating someone fairly you're actually helping them enjoy their game.

I'm not good at PvP. I just don't know how to do it. And in my defense I was a holy priest in wow But my girlfriend enjoys it tremendously. I asked her what she thinks is the best part. And she told me is that in PvP there is always the element of surprise, of chance you never know what's going to happen. While versus a computer opponent you know in advance what's going to happen.

No one gets hurt in a video game, even if you lose, you win, you went there for entertainment and you get entertained even if you lose the game. The point isn't winning or losing, it's enjoying yourself isn't it?

Going into an MMO game is joining a community, with all the dynamics confusions and beauty of real world communities. And this is fairly anonymous. So you get the full spectrum of human behavior without the shyness online. So it is a great place to learn about social interactions. Including apparently romance Multi player is always STO, unless you go there to troll and annoy players by cheating, by abusing program errors or insulting people in the chat. Playing the game as it's meant to be is never STS.

Also, it beats television.
