Isolated Community: Hidden dangers of MMORPGs
Rachel Schofield
Rachel Schofield describes many dangers of these MMORPGs such as WOW or world of warcraft.
These are online role playing games that millions of people can play and interact with each other. Because you only interact with people online, these players do not get a chance to interact with people face-to-face which severely damages their ability to socialize with other people face to face. Schofield claims that one reason that people play these types of games is because the society that we live in today does not accommodate every single person on this earth, leaving many stuck behind. Due to this fact they turn to a virtual world where they can be whoever they want to be and do whatever they want to do. Many of these gamers spend hours upon hours playing these games and thus becomes isolated from their immediate community.
