According to reports issued by the Ministry
of Education, as the online game, "The
World," has gained in popularity, attendance
at schools and universities has dropped.
The Ministry of
Education and the
PTA are drafting plans
to stimulate school
attendance to
counteract the game's
effects, and plan to mount a protest against
the CC Corporation. Also, since "The
World's" release, companies have noticed an
increase in sick calls and employees taking
vacation time. Some workers have even quit
their jobs to concentrate on playing games.
