Even though most of the dialogue that occurs online is generally impersonal, it allows people to recognize values overlooked in real life. While online, all physical aspects of a person are surrendered, and one is characterized by one's intelligence, articulation, and humor. The relationships in the online communities are based on people connecting solely on a mental plane . T he anonymity secured by the Internet's structure further promotes the acceptance of the fantasy of cyberspace. In an anonymous world, there is less need for accountability.
People tend to speak more freely and openly to one another.
There is also less fear of rejection or physical harm. For most people in the real world, fantasies stay as fantasies and fears are respected. In cyberspace, real world limits can be pushed. Whether in the social MUDs or adventure RPGs, participants live vicariously through their characters. The constraints of the physical world, such as gender or race, are taken away.
