Social Worlds do have the following main characteristics that divide them from Gaming or Web Worlds:
Use of an Avatar as in-world personification instead of a Player Character.
There is no leveling treadmill for reaching the next level respectively to advance with your character. The magic of Social Worlds is that everyone has their own personal goals like:
- having a great circle of friends
- being a rich person
- having the most appealing avatar
- create and sell own virtual masterpieces
All-in-All: Live your real-life fantasies.
An open world without game background or story line that provides its residents only with the framework to experience and build the world
As result: A Virtual World that consists mainly out of resident-created goods.
