I've already had my typing orgasm from this today. I don't know why they didn't just come right out and say they're making this game for me. I mean, I've already got emails into Smed with my shill-qualifications. And of course I'm already experienced at doing that for EQ2 so..... I'm going to kick myself for life for not getting the My Little Pony license...I can see it now. But yeah, on a serious note. I'll play it. For a day. | |

Look at these numbers. Club Penguin has over 4 million users. Webkinz has almost 4 million. These are virtual world type games that are free to sign up that offer paid memberships. They're also geared towards young girls. This is practically a sure success for SOE from a business standpoint. MMORPG's are not where the money is at, comparatively speaking. The money is in virtual spaces, with low ease of entry and tiered pricing. The money is in these 'games' that most of us have no interest in. Browser based, geared towards children or teenagers, social environments that present a fun place for kids to talk to each other and to create/customize their worlds and share with friends. Bottom line. Its a smart move for SOE - and I'd guess it will be far more successful than any MMO they've put out yet. I don't think that's a bad thing either...I think its something SOE would be foolish not to put some resources towards when its clearly where a lot of revenue lies. | |

| Getting a Sony online ID - Free Playing Pony MMORPG - Free Roaming hordes of bored teenagers making girls cry and posting screenshots - priceless On a related note does anyone remember that online church that let you make characters and roam around and ask questions? I believe a bunch of FoH people made characters and got banned for worshiping a soda machine in the basement.

| Imagine being a developer on this type of project. Could you believe the conversations on this type of thing? "Okay, we need to design more content for the Happy Rainbow Forest of Frolic" /shudder
