Absolutely. While geeks from Web 2.0 keep looking at virtual worlds with disdain and want them to "become the Internet" or "realize they are the Internet", people in virtual worlds don't want them to become webby. We want worlds to be worlds, and web to be web. Webby is, you know, Neopets. Yahoo Bookworm. Not Second Life. But... of course we admit that web is where the millions are, where the ads are, and where you designers will flock, and that worlds are going to remain as boutique items. Ok, then. Plan accordingly. Re: leveling up. I was made a little uneasy by hearing my daughter once say something odd, like she was "morphing" and "leveling up" by turning 13. That is, she wasn't saying this with humour and archness, she was just normally lifting the game language right out of all those games and applying it to real-life puberty.
