i think for those who would like to experiment with how they might feel about a multi player type online game ...use second life and see how that goes ...it becomes genuinely challenging in some respects ....sure, there is many more very nice folks then there is the truly evil ..that being said you do not have the same skills to differentiate between the sincerely nice and the sincerely evil as you do in a real life situation. It is too easy to experience a mixture of the two.....it can also create some issues that you need to be prepared to handle ..such as how your real life is going to intermix with your online life...believe me this can offer a range of multi-complexities you may not be prepared to handle. Every facet of life has the varied genre of "expectations" and the way you work through that can be more important then you might first consider. Will folks worry should you not be online when every Monday previously at the same time you have been..do you find yourself feeling as though you need to explain when you might be away for a particular length of time? EA is or it has been a format for both adults and teens in past releases ...online limitations can be challenging to maintain and where i don't doubt it could be done it certainly raises some questions in my mind as to how. If the sims 5 is released it would be my preference that it continue to be a community based stand alone or sandbox game. Folks can still visit either it be twitter or like here the forums to have community input but privacy when in their game. This has been the same arguments for many years now and i notice the concerns do not vary by too much even in extended time.
