ERFA Group established!

After a successfully seminar on Tuesday with our supervisor Stine and Kim and Thomas from CBS, who are writing their Master’s Thesis about a related subject, we have decided to meet on a regular basis in order to discuss our progression with the Thesis. One of the most interesting discussions from our meeting Tuesday concerned whether Second Life can be defined as a game or as a more advanced form of community. We do not see Second Life as a game for several reasons amongst others because:
- the virtual world is user-created
- the content depend of the residents
- interaction with others is evident
However, there are many gaming related activities in Second Life, which were some of the motives for the other Thesis group to define Second Life as a game.
