They go for the psuedo-3d style overly cute FFT style gameplay, but nothing beyond UO has even come close to success trying that formula in the north american market. Raph better hope someone comes along and writes a killer app for this, or it's going to be an also ran. I don't really see people clammoring for "virtual worlds" or even pac-man on their my space pages. If I can't play the game in 5 minutes a day, at work, with my boss coming around the corner, it isn't going to fly. It’ll be huge in Asia, maybe.

There have been a couple projects I've seen in the past that haven't quite delivered the awesome experience they hyped. I like the idea, I hope it turns out to actually be as cool as it says.

If you had a little 3D guy to walk around in this "message board" you could make a lot of new fans. It seems to me that anything text based eventually becomes 3D in some way, it's the future.

Like a Virtual World Webring where you can read posts from MMO bloggers in a shared space, making real-time comments with the other readers.

Just sayin' is all. The details, of course, are what matters but there's no doubt that somewhere in there is a hell of idea, fraught with potential issues. Then again, one would expect nothing less from Raph. I can see where the potential for being bigger than Second Life is present.
