/shout Social interaction
FTW!
One thing that makes MMOG's like Lord of the Rings Online a big draw
for many people is the social aspect of an online world. Being able to
slay orcs and chat with friends is always a plus, but what happens when
you can't have that social aspect because some of the key areas for
social interaction are taken away?
One of the biggest draws for me and a lot of other
people to an MMOG is
the community setting and things that inspire social interaction. Lets
face it; an MMOG is nothing more than a chat room with dragons and we
like it like that. However, there is an ever growing problem with the
social aspect of many MMOGs.
