More on theory

Interacting with others in gaming is what game theory is all about. When we couldn’t interact with each other in Runescape, we went to another source – Angel and the discussion board. With all levels of learning and gaming experience in our group, it was interesting to see how everyone cooperated and helped each other to maneuver around the game and answer questions to help each of us get to the same point in the game. Reaching goals and being told on screen that you’ve completed a task is always a reason for celebration - a pat on the back so to speak. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Compare this game to life and there are many similarities. We work hard, we are rewarded, we continue and do it again. Having things handed to us takes away the fun and intrigue. Having a logical path, or even a not so logical path to follow is what keeps us going along with the rewards along the way. Meeting others along the way is just another plus.
