This category has to do with immersive, graphical, persistent state environment, non-combat virtual worlds — like a
Wide-Open Sandbox MMORPG that is
all sandbox, no game. These worlds could someday become
The Metaverse - in fact, some might argue that they already have.
For in-universe virtual worlds, see
Lotus-Eater Machine,
Cyberspace and
Inside a Computer System.
