It is similar like a puppet in Western but the roles played were soldiers and generals, some are princess, but I can't find any of them now.
I am doing research trying to justify the educational functions of MMOPRGa in Taiwan. In addition, I am also interested in how players present themselves online from a social psychological perspective, kind of similar to self-identity but more complex.

I will be moving there when my daughter is ready to attend college in a few years.
Thanks for your message!~
Ann
