从1997起,网络游戏越来越盛行,目前全球据说有超过50个流行游戏,在美国有两三百万固定玩家。而韩国的Lineage(天堂)号称拥有超过400万用户。在众多热火朝天的网络游戏中,Ever Quest(无尽的任务)也许不是最流行的,但肯定属于最老牌的几个。这个游戏于1999年发行,2001年已经拥有超过45万用户。当时38岁的Edward Castro Nova是其中的普通一员。和多数沉迷游戏的人一样,Edward在现实生活中不太如意。他从事研究,但在学校的发展一直不顺利,发表不出论文,拿不到博士学位。
Since 1997, online games have become more and more popular. At present, there are over 50 popular games in the world and 2-3 million regular players in the United States. And Korea’s Lineage claims to have more than 4 million users. Ever Quest (endless missions) may not be the most popular among the many online games of all time, but certainly the oldest. The game was released in 1999 and has more than 450,000 users in 2001. At the age of 38, Edward Castro Nova was one of them. Like most addictive people, Edward is not happy in real life. He is engaged in research, but his development in the school has not been smooth, his essay can not be published and his doctorate can not be obtained.
