How manyusually think ofvirtual worlds…

What are Virtual Worlds? •Persistent, computer-simulated, immersive environments •Shared socialization spaces with interactive content •Economic activity and transactions

The number of virtual worlds and users continues to rapidly increase ≈1.9 bln accounts ≈100 worldshttp://www.slideshare.net/nicmitham/kzero-universe-q1-2012
