Line 70:
* [[Genre Shift]]: Depending on the season, server, and player, you can get everything from action, drama, romance, comedy, tragedy, and post-modernism, in the space of a few seasons.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Blue Whale, which happens to be the largest confirmed race in [[Real Life]]. Whale Sharks and Basking Sharks also qualify.
* [[Geo Effects]]: Typically occurs when flows and/or large movements of water, lava, earth, and even wind change the geography or negatively impact the healthy/safety of NPCs. A limited form of this that is human controlled occurs during things like mining, agriculture, and other engineering projects that affect the enviroment.
* [[Get On With It Already]]: Characters in Real Life can spend up to twelve years learning the background and physics of the world. Some additional skill trees take even more time to learn, depending on person to person.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: ''The people have a right to know'' - but only what (and ''how'') the [[Mainstream Media]] considers 'newsworthy', and in the process...
Line 296:
* [[Money for Nothing]]: Averted '''''hard'''''. There's just so much stuff to be bought with the in-game currency that you will ''never'' have too much money. Oh sure, the other players may say you do, especially indulging in [[Conspicuous Consumption]], there are always charities to give that money to.
** Oh, you can get Money for Nothing. It's called "arbitrage" and only really works [[Fridge Logic|if you already have]] [[Unstable Equilibrium|a lot of money in the first place]].
* [[Money Grinding]]: Savings accounts allow you to do this so the money is separate from money you spend regularly on in-game items. Many players also make just enough to get by at work, making this take ''a lot longer'' depending on what they want.
* [[Money Sink]]: Some of which are required to ''survive''. Real estate is a popular one whose necessity for survival is somewhat debatable, as is haut couture fashion.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: Widely subverted, as those with the discipline to pursue these achievements tend to be upright players.
