Through Terra Nova, a funny article at GameSpot about a new MMO : Real Life.

Real life isn’t above reproach. In one of the stranger design decisions in the game, for some reason you have no choice in determining your character’s initial starting location, appearance, or gender, which are chosen for you seemingly at random. (…) Real life features a great system whereby newbie players will automatically be guided along through the early levels by one or more “parent” characters who elect to take newbie characters under their wing. (…)

Player death is 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, who are apparently (and understandably) so busy that they generally keep silent. In short, players who die–at the hands of other players, by the occasional environmental hazard, or when their account expires–are essentially removed from the gameworld and apparently cannot return at all.
