Powers (2003) in Real Wrongs in Virtual Communities, which support acts in social worlds such as LambaMOO having content, but denies that MMOs meet the necessary criteria. The paper focuses on arguments presented by T. This paper argues that acts that occur in MMOs (i.e., virtual world games), even those which have meaning only in relation to the internal values of the virtual space, can (and in some cases do) have moral content. This indicates that players are not a homogeneous group with respect to player character identification and is an important consideration for designers to recognise. However, characteristics of the players, particularly gender and general experience in playing video games, did have a statistically significant affect, indicating that different levels of identification are more dependent on the player than on the game. Results indicate that the presence of story and information about the player character had no effect on identification with the plater character. The work presented here takes a different empirical approach, focusing on the use of various pronoun forms (first, second, third) as an indication of the relationship between player and character. Much of this work has examined the identification of players with their characters, generally taking either a textual analysis approach, or has been empirical work that has explicitly identified the idea of identification through survey instruments, etc.
There has been considerable interest in the relationship between the player and the player character. The player character is an important feature of many games, where it is through the character that the player interacts with game world.
