Each participant creates a virtual body, works at virtual jobs, and makes virtual friends and family. From Second Life to EverQuest and beyond, here are the computer-generated environments and characters that can easily become more engrossing and fulfilling than earthly existence. With the click of a mouse you can select eye color, face shape, height-you can even give yourself wings. Your character, or avatar, can build houses, make and sell works of art, earn money, get married and divorced.;
