From Seedlings to Halflings... Can Middle-Earth Maintain its Social Identity?

Seed, a game that billed itself as a non-combat / roleplay-centric MMORPG, closed down on Sunday, leading some to question whether an MMO that's more focused on socializing than achieving is feasible.

"Is a social MMO possible? Not on its own, no. But I think it is possible, as part of a new dynamic. Has it been done yet? Nope, not even close - yet. Will Lord of the Rings Online be the first game to truly recognize how important the social aspect of MMOs is to the current gaming demographic? I certainly hope so. I've banked my last three years on it."
