I mean, the reason why I buy certain things online is because I do <em>not </em>want to run around in a shop. <blockquote>so we can all wait in virtual lines together</blockquote> That was one of my first thoughts. "Are there virtual lines and some screaming kids to give you that special shop-feeling?" But, hey, what about this: We could imitate the shuttle waiting times some of us know from old-SWG, and have some PvP while waiting - send a /duel and hit each other with the "Next customer" whatsit... A new kind of minigame. But I digress. I think. Hmm why do some people insist on reinventing reality?
