Whether you're playing wow gold games,or putting 40 hours a week into wow gold.

Jane McGonigal has been making wow gold games for 10 years, working on ARGs such as Halo 2's I Love Bees and McDonald's The Lost Ring. She's currently directing research and development at the Institute for the Future, a nonprofit research group. She says her goal is: "To make it as easy to save the world in real life as it is to save the world in online games."Jane McGonigal believes that games can help people to find the real-self. we are not as anxious or scared of failure as we are in real life, so we're more likely to success, and we're also more likely to learn how to collaborate with others in challenging situations. On a grand scale, the 5.93 million years that McGonigal points out the world has spent playing wow gold is affecting our cooperative abilities, which could easily transfer to solving the problems of world hunger, poverty, or climate change.Another interesting statistic McGonigal relates is that the average person will play 10,000 hours of online games by the time he/she hits the age of 21, which is approximately the amount of time it takes to go from 5th grade to the completion of high school. Online gaming is a "parallel track of education" according to McGonigal, which creates "virtuosos" of collaboration and problem solving. The problem is that people seem to believe they only have the power to change virtual worlds, rather than the real world too.Alternate reality games such as McGonigal's World Without Oil and Superstruct challenge players to use these collaborative skills to make an impact on the world, including coming up with solutions to an oil crisis or figuring out how to solve the problems of 2019. Whether you're playing wow gold games such as these, or putting 40 hours a week into wow gold, it ultimately doesn't matter, because the skill sets subconsciously taught in both are creating a population more capable of working together to save the world.
