This is a great outline of the question at the heart of my book. Why do we play? Well, why do we do anything? Why do we grow up? Why are we motivated to do anything that doesn't lead to security, water, food, sex, and status? Why do we dream in RuneScape? Why is "coping" the meme answer to Why We Play? Why this game? What makes it different? Is it different? Why is this place a viable world? Why does the RuneScape wiki grow and grow? Is it inevitable? Why did RuneScape come into existence? Why and how does this game evolve? > Games gave me a safe, small microcosm of the world to be excited about. Bingo. I'll make a note of your HN handle and try and get in touch when I start publishing. I really appreciate your comment, it's so validating when someone says: "As someone who plays and has since I was around 10, I often think about that same question." You and I are not alone in this, every time I talk about this project people are really interested. I don't think the same is true for most non-fiction books-in-progress.
