There is already a recent official answer to the Amarr needs love issue.
General ship loving. There are some ships that need help and we're gonna give it to them. Which ships you might ask? Well, Armageddon might need some fitting help, the cruisers aren't really that great and Apocalypse might get a bit of a role twist.
After seeing how Todd McFarlane messed up the fantasy setting of Ultima Online tramutating it in an hybrid fantasci-fi that everybody stopped to like, I have to say I am less enthusiastic than you.
Virtual Villagers is a Palm OS classic game since some time. It is a very well done Tamagotchi style game with goals to archive and a plot line. It is something nice to do when you are bored in a train with your palm, but I can't imagine anybody playing it seriously on their PC.
Bha.. I reported the news earlier
http://www.ogrank.com/content/view/152/37/
and all the internet is linking to my article, but Eurogamer got the creditofor reporting on slashdot:/
During last week I run a poll on my MMORPG related Website.
The poll question was "Which MMORPG currently offer the best PvP?"
EVE Online won this one also. If you want to see the results more in detail here is a link:
http://www.ogrank.com/content/view/141/33/
The game was released earlier in America, then in Europe and at the end in Asia, so asian players who were not willng to wait months to play, opened accounts on american and EU servers.
If I was an Apple user I would be more interested in the possibility to develop an high performance emulator. With that I would be able to run concurrently macOs, unix and windows on the same machine
Well, I will not reply "If you want more power look at Second Life" http://secondlife.com/, because I think that SL falls in another category of games.
Actually EVE Online gives you quite a lot of power. The economy is 99% player driven, and in "non empire space", politics, resource control, land (starsystems) control is completely in the hands of the players.
The other half, the "empire space", is still in a good part managed by the NPC and their policemens (The Concord)... or the Devs if you prefer, but this piece of space is dependent, resources wise at least, to the non empire one.
But are really players demamnding for more freedom and power in MMORPGS? I don't think so, or players would play more A Tale In The Desert (where you can also design and propose laws that, if voted, will be scripted by the devs) and EVE Online tha World of Warcraft.
I agree, and I also add that this is why I give more value to this kind of results:

than anything else.
22k player logged in, on the same server, with no istance at all, means 22k people to interact with. Even if you can't met everybody, mainly because thay maight be far away from you, you can still interact with them in the sense that you can talk to them, and so make commercial deals or anything else.
In this way there is always friends and there is always enemies.
"Windows "Monad" Shell is a new interactive command-line and task-based scripting technology in Windows that enables administrators to more efficiently and securely automate and control system management tasks on both desktops and servers."
Is Microsoft admitting that administrating a machine by shell is more efficient and secure than by UI?

I am not sure about buying, but I can tell you it was worth to sell my house on Ultima Online http://www.uo.com/ for 300$ before closing the account and leaving the game for something else

On Slashdot the price should be published in WoW gold per SETI units elaborated.
The right one was "Duke Nukem: Forever in Production"

I think this has to be linked. http://mmogchart.com/ A study on the MMOG subscription numbers declared by the publishers.

There is so many MMORPGs in the market very different from what you described. A Tale in The Desert http://www.atitd.com/ for example, or EVE-Online http://www.eve-online.com/
Because the name "Windows Commander" is gonna be used as a chat nickname by Bill Gates?

This is your interpretation and cannot be taken as a translation. I suppose you don't know who Paolo Coelho, the person who wrote that letter, is
Le Monde article If anyone has an english translation for this it would be good for non french readers.
