"Get a life!"

what can you do in real life? you can stick to the rules. you can live according to the overall conditioning principles of society (don't steal, don't scare old people,...). you can experience things within the vicinity that you already know or may have experienced in another way at a similar place. you can meet people that mostly try to get along, but not people that stick to their own individual and interesting personality.
well ok... you might also journey to another country on the other side of the world, or join an interesting community that fits to your needs. but let's be honest: the later two are rather a rarity than a common occasion.

what can you do in virtual life? you can go kill a dragon - or virtual people you don't like. you can make your own rules. you can do things you could never accomplish alone in the real world, like crafting a nice peace of armor or brew a potion that makes you stronger (forget about spinache!). you can meet fellows and achieve something together in a collaborative struggle.

the next time people tell you to "get a life", tell them to try out YOURS. ;)
