Another quick post on October’s Associations Now
For those of you who were intrigued by the concepts behind the October Associations Now cover story on gaming and virtual worlds, but perhaps aren’t ready to hunker down with electronic gaming as a hobby, there’s a new travel service out there that way be for you. Synthtravels bills itself as the first virtual travel agency, specializing in online worlds like Ultima Online, Second Life, and World of Warcraft.
You still have to purchase and install any needed software, but once you’ve set up your computer, Synthtravels promises to connect you with an experienced guide for a tour of the world. They even offer special VIP packages where you can meet the “celebrities” of a particular virtual community.
Perhaps a way to try the gaming concept on for size!
