Subject: Re: 25 years from now


Good Goddess... do you realize how much better shape myself and so many
other people would be in if we actually had to wear VR suits and swing
our arms to use swords and axes and such, and walk in place to move,
and jump to avoid baddies, and talk out loud for people to hear us in
groups. Some of us might be in a shape other than round for a change.

Of course also imagine the chaos at raids. It is already bad enough
getting 72 people to shut up long enough to listen to or give our raid
commands to be executed while taking on something even as simple as
Rallos Zek, let alone whatever mobs we would be fighting in 25 years
wearing VR suits.

Of course my biggest aversion to wearing VR suits while playing a game
like EverQuest... getting the urine stains out of the VR suit when
coming face to face with something that is 10 times your size, snarling
at you while dripping saliva off its razor sharp teeth and knowing that
it has one purpose in its life... to teach warriors how to taunt a mob
off us Weapon Shield Rangers before we rangers end up as toe jam and
something disgusting between its teeth.
