Overview: The ambiguous and highly subjective meaning assigned to the word "interaction" makes it difficult for the researchers and practitioners, who work in the area of virtual environments and applications, to communicate and join their research efforts. The aim of this work is to provide more understanding on the interaction occurring inside Networked Virtual Environments (Net-VE) by analyzing the communicative and social aspects of computer-mediated interaction inn multi-player games. The work is conducted using conceptual analysis by applying Communicative Action Theory as a scientific framework.
