Blog Banter 29: Immersion

Last month's Blog Banter topic was a bit of a politically-charged monster, but over thirty bloggers sank their collective teeth into it. The resulting conversation was thought-provoking, eye-opening and made my brain bleed a bit, but spleens were vented and valid opinions were poured into the digital ether. It was a cathartic community experience and I like to think that the "echo chamber" played its part in presenting player opinions to those who wanted to hear them.

This month I thought we could try something a little gentler, more elegant and open-ended. The question is simply this;

"EVE Online is renowned for its depth. Its backstory, gameplay and social aspects are all qualities that draw players in. What does immersion in EVE Online mean to you?"

I look forward to another host of unpredictable and excellent articles.

For anyone new to the concept of a blog banter who wants to take part, some blog banter guidelines can be found here (or check out the above links for examples from last month).

Happy blogging.
