Lives Lost & Found in Virtual Worlds

Over 2 Million people worldwide leave their ordinary lives behind to re-invent themselves, from their looks, to their gender, to their social graces. Does this new persona or "avatar" truly allow them to explore a world devoid of traditional barriers or only entrap them in an isolating cocoon of social make-believe?

Highlights include:

- A Tour of Britannia Manor and holding court with Richard 'Lord British' Garriott, creator of the Ultima Series (extended tour on DVD Extras!).

- David 'DelCabon' Noll, the first level 100 of Asheron's Call, on the car accident that left him disabled and the social experience of gaming.

- Inside EverQuest: Attending Fan Faires, quizzing the developers and understanding the long-lasting success.

- The First Couple of EverQuest: They met in Beta Phase I and are now happily married.

- Addiction Controversy: Can games be made to be addictive? What constitutes addiction?

- The Cross-Gender Phenomenon: Female Wood Elves with a twist!

- Dark Age of Camelot: Meet Mark Jacobs, Sanya 'Tweety' Thomas and Scott 'LumTheMad' Jennings.

- Lineage The Bloodpledge: 2 million subscribers and counting.

- Star Wars Galaxies: See the Star Wars universe come alive in amazing footage and go behind the scenes with Haden 'Shug_Nix' Blackman and Tom Sarris!

All this and so much more on the 'Avatars Offline' DVD.
