Are you aware of any research or articles I can read to learn more about the numbers of MMOs? Currently desiging a parental friendly web interface for my future projects, and I'm interested in the numbers associated with age groups during summer months compared to winter months. Just something I'd like to provide users with. If you know of any... In response to the actual post... I played that game about 2 years ago and it had a great blend of humor in it. My only problem is I am not a fan of systems that limit my play to a set number of turns. Defeats the purpose of playing in my opinion. Great web-based MMO otherwise.
