    Think about that for a second:

    "Believing it's another world" means the world you're experiencing feels like an actual world -- Clearly it would be a different world from our earth in a logical stand point, but the reason people like stories like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and (insert billions of disney stuff) is because even though it's fiction, it's like a 'real world'.

    ^this - times a lot...

    I'm pretty sure (or at least, would hope) that when players are using "real" or "real world" in the context of a fantasy game that they're referring to the realism of the fantasy itself (or elements of the fantasy world). Even though games are fantasies there still exist levels of "believability" in them; just like in movies with fictional stories - otherwise they're just straight up bizarre like the shows (and games) you find on Adult Swim o.O
