This paper explores the dynamics of online communication within the virtual world of video games and their impact on the development of addiction. Focused on video games and virtual world Metaverse, the research analyzes users' communication patterns, including the use of slang and various aspects of communication in virtual reality. The aim is to shed light on how video games shape users' communication patterns and what influence these patterns have on their communication outside of the games. Additionally, the research investigates the issue of addiction by exploring users' perception of the impact of video games on their mental and emotional state, as well as aggressive behavior. Through the implementation of an online survey questionnaire among a sample of 170 respondents aged 18 to 35, the study identified communication patterns, the perception of the impact of video games on skill development, and potential addiction. The results revealed that the majority of users employ specific communication within games and that video games can have a positive impact on the development of motor and social skills. Furthermore, most participants recognize the potential for addiction and aggressive behavior stemming from excessive video game playing. Participants show limited familiarity with the Metaverse platform, suggesting the need for further research into this emerging technology. Through the analysis of participants' sociodemographic characteristics, the findings offer insights into users' perceptions and habits in the context of online communication and video games.
