Roma

In Roma, there was one of the two role-play areas visited. In this area there was both a market and a more classical Roman area. The digital Rome came complete with causeways, gladiatorial combat, and chariot races. It was a very immersive area where people are friendly and enjoy getting into the spirit of a world set in ancient Rome. It was a place of commerce, community, and togas. It was a fun world made to simulate Rome, but there will never be a way to capture the real massive feeling of a city like Rome. Digital people are not the same as a crowded city street. There was a strict set of role-play rules, but the rules helped to keep the entire community in the spirit of an ancient Roman experience. The rules even extended to appropriate dress that could be provided free when you agree to their rules.
