An online virtual reality game that I am familiar with can be found on “Myspace” under applications that can be added to your profile or at the provided link above. The game is made by Zynga and it is called “Yoville.” A person engaged in playing “Yoville” first creates a character or avatar. The individual playing "Yoville" decides whether the avatar created bears any personal resemblance or not.
Although the physical characteristics are limited, the person playing “Yoville” has many options in regards to clothing especially once the player accumulates money by working in a virtual factory or by purchases money credits with real cash (major credit cards accepted). An apartment home is assigned when one creates a “Yoville” account. The player of “Yoville” is free to decorate the apartment home as they wish providing they have the virtual money to do so. The apartment home come equipped with starter furniture. A person can also purchase a home, text talk to other players, play games with other players, go to a casino, and take part in many other interesting interactions.
“Yoville” does not purport lifelike images, but cartoon images using an isometric perspective.
The following is a youtube.com clip of “Yoville” where a player goes to a night club.
Personally, I’ve drifted away from “Yoville”. “Yoville” was a nice distraction at first. I found that the personalization of avatars by players in “Yoville” can become quite a creative process. Because I am not willing to use my personal bank account to purchase extras I may be unable to be so creative as a lot of players but more likely I probably lack the creative inclination.

I played this game briefly as well. It's a good pick because it shows how people interact without really knowing eachother for who they are as much as what they virtually have.
