| celine said: Also what do you think about this part of the article ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another bold prediction: Within 10 years, guilds formed on "War [World] of Warcraft" or other online games will become offline political forces. Especially in Asia, look for these groups to start agitating for social change. This is a role traditionally reserved for university students, but in many ways, online groups are better suited to challenge the status quo. These tight-knit, hierarchical groups are dispersed geographically, and they're used to playing specific roles--for example, casting healing spells or printing 1,000 posters. In short, the instigators of the next Tiananmen Square could very well not be students from Peking University, but members of the "Chinese Nathrezim Finger Guild." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
The KCIA/ANSP have already infiltrated all the big guilds. We shall see if the online organizing has any effect.
