A hilariously biting look at the actions of humanity compared with monkey society. It's a seriously hilarious read. Title: The Monkeysphere Post by: TripleDES on June 21, 2004, 11:57:43 AM It's not like the guy's wrong.
Title: The Monkeysphere Post by: HaemishM on June 21, 2004, 12:34:19 PM The Monkeysphere Theory is a perfect example of why I think instancing doesn't take away the Massive aspect of MMOG's. Your Monkeysphere can only be so big.
Title: The Monkeysphere Post by: Paelos on June 21, 2004, 01:18:32 PM My Monkeysphere in an MMO is probably about 10 people. That's pretty much my guild give or take a few I don't ever see and a few outsiders. The rest of the people in the game could die in violent car wrecks and my life would flow on normally. MMOs don't really count as a good base for that theory I think. Frankly, even if those 10 people bit the dust, I lack that tactile knowledge of them to ever really be emotionally attached. I'd probably just quit the game.

Ah well, I do like this article on the grounds that it encourages open-mindedness and knocks down a few unneccessary hate walls. |
