As a whole activeworlds isnt a game but elements like Mutation and AWRPG is
(many other games like chess, checkers, paintball, laser tag, capture the
flag) i dont see anything wrong with calling it a game :)

What is a game but something you do for fun :)

In all technicalities aw is a game

But if you wann be Uber specific, AW is a fully immersive 3d chatroom, With
a building simulator, and world simulators included... lol

no, not everything you do for fun is a game. some people like to, i dunno,
program as a hobby, meaning, they do it for fun, but visual C++ is not a
game, nor is 3ds max, nor msn messenger, so AW can't really be classified
as a game, since it's chatting mostly, mixed with building, which could be
seen as, i dunno, basic modeling maybe, so it's not really a game :)

hmm, naa, i don't see it. you cannot consider AW a simulator. it doesn't
really simulate life, that's not it's purpose. The only way i can explain it
is a 3D chat program. Simulators are designed with realism in mind. flying,
walking through walls, no physics other then gravity, no vehicles, no
health/status bars, etc. can't be considered a simulator :)

emm, was that ment to be an insult? ya, wasn't a very good one...

Ya, building simulator? emm, naaa, maybe an artitecual simulator, but
those aren't really games. games would have goals, missions, preprogrammed
things to do...
AW cannot be considered a game! neither can there, or second life. you might
be able to play games inside of them, but they are not themselfs, games!

lol a game doesn't need goals, or objectives, or preprogrammed things 0_0,
those are all parts of RPGs, and strategy games...there are some really
open-ended games 0_0 where you do whatever you want in total anarchy...
