Questions from a virtual world

  • Do I get an avatar?
  • Can I fix my avatar's appearance to suit me?
  • Can other people bring in their avatars to talk with me?
  • Can we talk in voice?
  • (Like we do in the "real" world)
  • Can we bring in things to show each other?  
  • Can we visit a number of interesting places together?
  • If not, get back to me when you know what a real virtual world is.
