In your lifetime…

1. Everyone will look like a Greek god or goddess.

2. All will play in the same virtual world.

3. Someone will go to jail for stealing a Bonebiter.

4. You'll meet someone who plays an MMORPG for a living.

5. They'll take the “G” out of “MMORPG.”

6. You will find yourself momentarily forgetting whether you're in the real or virtual world.

7. You'll meet a couple who have been married for years and have never seen each other's real-life faces.

8. There will be a branch of government to rule the virtual world.

9. There will be a whole class of wealthy people without a dime to their name.

10. The rise of the metaverse will go almost completely unopposed.
