A comparison of Everquest to reality.

Everquest is a massive multi-player role-playing game made up of a fantasy world where people from around the world can roam lands interacting with one another as well as many of the non-player characters, or mobs. Mobs are non-player characters that are either killable characters, used in quests to obtain faction or items, or for story-line purposes. This game isn't exactly designed to be a virtual reality, but it has far more similarities than most …

…in real life, in which a person is employed to produce a certain product for another to purchase or consume. Some trade skills in Everquest consist of tailoring, brewing and alchemists. These duties are also available in reality. Everquest is one of the first games to present a graphical interface and reality-like playing style comparable to real life. It is an escape from reality that mimics reality. It's the beginning of the future of gaming.
