Raph Koster posts a list of life lessons learned from MMORPGs. Here are a couple:
You can be the best in the world at your job.
But so can everyone else.
And you will all do it exactly the same way.
Intelligent beings who have civilizations and languages of their own are generally evil and should be slain.
Many, if not all, wild creatures are highly aggressive and will attack on sight.
You not only can’t go home again, you probably don’t have one.
If you do, it’s mostly to store stuff, not to live in.
You never have people over.
Death doesn’t really sting. Nerf, however, is incredibly painful.
Strawberries are never in season.
