"Much of playing an MMO involves making tiny adjustments to your perception of yourself and to your perception of your character until eventually the two align. It's as if there's a dialog between them, the resolving of which affirms (or reaffirms) the player's sense of identity."
— Richard A. Bartle, MMOs From the Inside Out (info)
