World Within a World; Videogame Chat Rooms   by Maria

Ninety-nine percent of most gamers, whether online, computer or console (X-Box, Play Station) are completely computer savvy and quite comfortable and proficient within the environment of the internet. One might even say that they reside a good deal of time in an alternate reality. Add to the fact that most are quite intelligent and well-versed about not only their favorite games, but most of popular culture. Oftentimes, many of the videogame chat rooms are populated by older, more seasoned gamers who don’t tolerate the younger, foul-mouthed punks that of course have all the answers. Fortunately in certain chat rooms, where a protocol is established, whether on Adult Chat Net, Xivio, or others, those who curse and behave obnoxiously are banished to the cyber wasteland.

Trusted Information

A grizzled gamer can go to gaming websites such as IGN, Gamespot or Gamefly, for various information like tips, cheats and game reviews. But often, one likes to hear from a trusted voice to get the real lowdown. Video game chat rooms can provide this open, brutally honest advice.

Prepare to Serve

There are also chat rooms that cater to a specific game. These gamers are passionate, obsessive and perhaps a tad bizarre, but in a good way. They sometimes take these alternate realities more seriously than they do their own lives. The game The World of Warcraft is an excellent example. This expansive, multi-dimensional, never-ending world has devotees world-wide. And these fanatics are not Jim the accountant, but Zardok, Ruler of the Lower Orb, she is not Mary the school librarian, but Celestia, Mistress of the river Noor. And in these chat rooms, that’s who you’ll be addressing so know your place. One must earn their rightful place among the gods and immortals, so stay humble but never lose courage.
