MMORPG stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game and RL stands for Real Life. With the advent of technology, especially the internet, the boundaries brought about by terrestrial limitations are no longer felt and proximity is never a problem to interact with people around the world. Of course, this improvement has its advantages but is it really more advantageous than disadvantageous?

Many people are hooked on MMORPG nowadays, who can resist? With MMORPG you can anybody you want plus 100+++ cool factor. You can be your dream you. You can fly, have super nice gadgets, kill, be killed and resurrected and interact with millions of players like you as in real life. Now, the major questionis did online virtual reality also transcended the boundaries between reality and the virtual world that the distinctions are no longer that conspicuous? 

I was trapped in the virtual world once. Trapped as in I never realized there exists a real one. Every night and day, I just live- live in the virtual world without care about the real one. Does this prove that the technology we harnessed is more disadvantageous that it has the power now to stop us from existing in our real world? Did we incorporate technology in our life or did technology incorporated us in it?

As humans, we can discern, rationalize. That's the power that puts us on top of the food chain, master of the universe. Technology is what we make it, let's just not tolerate that technology makes us what we are.
