Interesting. To me, I play to get away from real life, but not for the difficulty, just to be able to do awesome things. Mimicking real life in play, ys, but I consider that a good thing, creating a better illusion of some cooler world than this.
The main reason I can never quite convince myself to play WoW. A truly persistent world would be amazing, and it would be amazing to see the amount of work needed to do the story, and to program it.
It is not directly a programming problem. Enemies respawn, and saved princesses are unsaved, so the next player in line can do the quest. Not having them do so runs into the problems mentioned above, as having a new player do a different quest requires new NPCs, and overall more load on the game.
Indeed, that is their strategy. It does serve though, to cover up security problems, and get people used to them acting secretive because, well, they are secretive.
The Marketing policy, not the company's policy. Obviously the company releases patches, but marketing, in relation to the public, pretends there are no issues. Quite a difference really.
Cardio is all well and good, and certainly a major factor in the sort of exercise that will help one lose weight, but half-way decent is rarely enough. I personally find martial arts fun, and great exercise, but it does void the whole privacy of the home thing.

Been done, and it can work. However, players might not always be the best to be trusted with plot and such.

Or who might be your next door neighboor. The threat of the unknown, especially when they claim to know you, is huge.
Sue buggy red, no sue back!
At least I did not have to take the red pants test. So hard to fight with cramps.
Perhaps they read it, and wished to make the point that limiting yourself to the home is rather self defeating, as you did?
My yellow belt test went quite fine thank you very much. :P
