Jabberwocky? your memory must be going...I've never heard that word in my life.

Actually, the sleeping is just a way to make sure that really over-dedicated people don't get an unfair advantage over casual players. They should probably have it in regular MMORPGs too -- let's face it, the people who spend more time in-game level up so much faster than people who just treat it as entertainment, it's ridiculous.
This "Life" MMORPG still has far too many lamers in it. And they actually seem to be able to carry out their threats of physical violence rather than just saying it idly infront of a computer.
Grrr, this game constantly annoys me with crappy BUGS!
In particular, the "Female" characters (not sure if they're npcs or what) seem to have very buggy AI, I mean, they totally freak out if you leave the toilet seat up! Must be a memory leak or something....
The other thing that annoyed me was the popularity system; it seems if you know certain people and/or wear certain clothes, your popularity level increases, which gives you access to a wider range of interactions (particularly with the "Females").
The problem was, I'd spent all my time working on my education points, and playing the "Natural Selection" minigame (you can access it through the PC screen), so my popularity level was pretty much rock bottom <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I do think that they should really do something about the greifers, most recently a player called "George Bush" used an exploit to attempt to PK another player called "Saddam Hussain" (where do they get these names from....), claiming that he was using the weapons of mass destruction hack.
It is also widely known that this "Bush" also has the WMD hack, although the admins have yet to get a demo of him using it.
Anyway, before I cause this thread to be closed in a flurry of controvercy, Real-life is a pretty good game and well worth the subscription fee. The range of minigames is fantastic such as Football, Golf, Hockey and other sports, along with activities less draining on your stamina points such as the "Television" sub game, or, of course, the "Computer" sub-game. (although the computer sub game crashes a LOT)
The sign-up process, although pleasant, is rather long (it takes nine months...) but once you're inside, the first two years or so are pretty good, you can feel free to explore the environment at will (once you learn how to crawl, a tricky skill which can take nearly a year for some players to lern).
Once you hit year four, the game begins to get a little monotonous, as you are forced to go to a School zone for upwards of 6 hours every day! (except weekends) Also, you will undoubtedly encounter a LOT of greifer-n00bs at the School zones.
Currently, I am nearing the end of year 17 (though I've heard some players have got as far as year 120, they must play a lot), and I managed to get through the School Zone with quite good education points. Now i'm onto the "College" section, similar to school, but MUCH harder. The people in the American servers call these Colleges "High School".... I wish the devs would make a universal communication system!
The next phase of the game for me will probably be either "Work", or more likely, "University" (called "College" by the Americans), which I have heard is even harder still, and requires money points to access.
Overall, I would give Real-life a 9-10, just short of reaching the top spot which is still held by, of course, Natural Selection.

After that, my memory tends to get a little more jabberwocky.

going from place to place, going to the bathroom, hell, even SLEEPING to regain health... everything has to happen in real time! It sucks!
