In Ready Player One by Ernest Cline there was a lot of different elements in the book that benefitted the players. All of these things helped but not as much as one thing. In this book I think friendship between the players was the true "power". One friendship between two people that I think was very powerful and important was the friendship between Parzival and Aech.

This is evident in Ready Player one, a novel by Ernest Cline, when the protagonist Wade Watts has a realization that he was no longer doing anything to try and further reach his life goal to find the egg in the OASIS. His life had been chained up, picked up, and slammed off course by the woman of his dream, that he had never met in real life (only in the OASIS), named Art3mis.
