I'm not sure this qualifies as the internet, but on extremely rare occasions, when I have time, I do this virtual reality thing, Second Life. It gets boring rather quickly, because it's not a game per se, but you can build virtual objects, design clothes, write code, shop, get an "in-world" job, buy property, etc. Everyone creates their own avatar to their individual preferences, and people on there can be amazingly creative.
Some people that play that game are really deeply involved, and spend thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of actual dollars on virtual property. There are 'events' held every hour of every day, and the exceptionally skilled techie geeks make real money off of creating virtual objects/houses/scripts and selling them to players.
If nothing else, the graphics are amazing, and they have a virtual Amsterdam, where you can buy all manner of questionable items. It's really the strangest game I have ever seen.
