In my opinion, I think that people use virtual worlds because of
the avatars. It's fun to make an avatar and pretend to be someone
else for a little while. Virtual worlds are also usual really great
visuals. And there's a lot of things to do on virtual worlds.
Sometimes there's games, creating avatars, exploring the "world"
(once again a visual experience), and chatting and meeting other
people who have the same interests as you.
Well, that's one girl's opinion of virtual worlds. :-) Hope that
helps!
