		<description>The issue with virtual realities is that people approach them in different ways and for different reasons. Some use them to escape, some to be what they cannot be in the &#039;real&#039;, some to explore aspects of self that society doesn&#039;t permit or that are highly penalized. In my experience over ten years in the genre, the person who is &#039;just themselves&#039; is the exception, not the rule.

Virutal worlds create their own reifications and social constructs, and often serve as places in which the mainstream can safely be eschewed. A casual look at most virtual worlds readily confirms this.

I assert the only time there is conflict to speak of is when some force asserts a mandate that &#039;the real&#039; must be observed simply because it is real. This goes as much for social constructs as for ideological ones.

The problem in virtual worlds is simply that much of the structure rises from the reifications of &#039;the real&#039; and in many ways, this ensures conflict in and of itself.

While the answer to the question, &#039;Why is it wrong to bomb [place X]?&#039; is the same both in a virtual and real world, the reasons for why it is wrong are different and arise differently, and in this difference is the crux of the matter best highlighted.

There will always be a segment of your customer base that is here simply because they can be as &#039;nasty as they wanna be&#039;... the real question is -- how do you present a world in which being cooperative brings higher reward than not being cooperative?
