Meets avatarbok-Facebook online games.

For those of you who don't know, "the Sims online" revolution. Was left standing for several years with little to no input, EA is ultimately changed the game, and the world of multiplayer gaming as we know it. Sounds like hyperbole? Maybe, maybe not; check out the latest addition to the online gaming experience: avatarbok.

Statements were made by the front of the body

What is avatarbok? Well, the idea in the name. What is one of the largest social networking sites on the planet at the moment? That's right--Facebook. With over 58 million users, Facebook is the main reason that many of us log on in the morning. But, as we all know, has its limitations. Also do online games.

One problem with online games is that you can also detach from reality--you have your online friends, and friends in the real world, and the two sides remain divided. As Facebook – your user service is who you already know, and it may be difficult to identify people outside this Chamber on a one-to-one basis without the participation of all of your data or being introduced by a friend to a friend.

All this is set to change, with a new application that can change our networks forever. When Linden Labs made Linden dollars (the currency in "second life" game popular) exchangeable for real-world currency, opened the world of online gaming to make it in the real world. EA now wants to do the same thing, allowing Internet users to link their accounts Sims with their Facebook.

The exchange of information

Avatarbok has two faces-the version in the game version of Facebook. In the game you can use much like Facebook, where you can find other avatars and display their unlimited. For friends visible full profiles, with walls for people to write and updatable. Your profile will also be displayed if you have many open or not, the application used to make your way around the "EA" quickly as you jump from friend to friend.

On Facebook, the application shows your personal details (unless you choose to set up private sector), and the image, and whether you are logged on to the game. This is a useful way for players to see who is online without having to sign in itself. You can also invite other users who are not Facebook already players "the Sims online" application download and see your profile avatar-a step that EA hopes will attract more people to the game.

Thus, at present, the bulk of information that can be shared on avatar. Can showcase their skills and characteristics and friends, on the wall. Is to keep the identity of the person behind the avatar's true, at least for now.

Privacy

Privacy is a key issue as regards EA, even at this moment avatarbok are somewhat limited in the amount of information that can be shared. In the Sims game you can add people to your friends list, you will be provided with a link to your own profile Facebook instead of making a direct link, although it is set to change as the application grows. Also, no one in "EA land" ("the Sims online" world where the application will be available) will receive your real name-will be searchable only by your personal name. EA has stated that it intends to allow players to reduce the privacy settings so that it can share more information, but currently they are playing it safe.

Future

This application shows obviously has great potential, which is that EA will continue to develop as they get feedback from users. Game "the Sims online" is going through a revolution at the moment, with a free trial into a permanent free play in the very near future (with play limited non-commissioned, much like in second life). For years now, "second life" in terms of have lead package innovation and social interaction, but if EA keep this then we could be looking at a new competitor for the Crown. After all, it comes with two of the most popular games of all time (the Sims the Sims 2), so some say that this is less of a surprise to home late. Definitely one to watch, anyway.
