JeanBa Posted January 19 Posted January 19 3DX is not a game, it is a 3DX chat client, a Social Network. There are indeed real people behind the Avi's that you communicate with so take care in what you say , how you treat them, and promises that you make . For some on here, it is a world of fantasy, a place to explore worlds and situations they cannot or would not in reality. Some people are just looking for companionship as their real life world is limited by physical constraints . Some use 3DX as a sexual playground. Some are seeking friendship, enjoying the interaction with others with similar interests from far away lands or just around the corner, and some of those friendships make the transition to real life . Others are seeking love, real love , not fake internet love, but someone to join them in their real life. Someone with whom they can spend time, share their dreams, love with all their heart, and with whom they can share a future. Whatever your reason for being on 3DX , remember every Avi has a real person behind it.
DrPaulCampbell Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I appreciate you writing this so much. I've recently been thinking about this topic a lot. While I don't think I've ever hurt anyone's feelings in 3DX, I've certainly been offended. How you view the "game" versus "community" perspective, I think has a lot to do with whether you see your avatar as an extension of yourself (and thus bound to the same ethics that you as a person believe in) or just an alter-ego that can do whatever it wants. Me, personally, I cannot compartmentalize myself that way and I don't like to make up other characters. I think I'm just fine being myself. So, yeah - people have feelings when they express emotions through writing or relating, whether we know their real names or not. Good post. JeanBa 1
JeanBa Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 (edited) I can say that yes indeed I stay here myself and that I do not play any particular role. It is more comfortable and it is more honest even if im often odds with the others. Thank you very much for your kind appreciation Edited January 21 by JeanBa

Even as an “other person”, I feel bound by my ethical principles and try not to hurt anyone and only do everything with consent. I know that other players only want to play themselves and I accept that. At the same time, I want players to accept my way of playing. DrPaulCampbell 1

I tend to play the exact same way. I don't enjoy any kind of non-consensual roleplay (even though of course, it has to be consensual at some level, since we can all just log out). But I don't enjoy anything that isn't also enjoyable for the other person. I have had experiences where someone later would say, "I didn't enjoy that." And my reply is, "Well, why didn't you just tell me? I would have stopped immediately!" So, yes ... I'm an extension of my own principles here. I'm not here to really be a whole other person, since I can't seem to occupy a different personality than the one I have. That's just me, however.
