Agreed.
I worked over at the so-called "Tech Services" as a Service Writer for about six months. I finally said "screw it", and got another job elsewhere. I don't know which was worse: trying to explain to people how they're about to get ripped off by buying a warranty they don't need (in earshot of the manager, of course), or telling someone that their desktop won't be ready for another week, after it has been in our shop for six months without any note, work, or anything else being done.
It's been too long since I worked there to remember my #, but I will never forget Store #771...the good and the evil.
Lego has been offering something like this on their site already, called Lego Digital Designer, which allows you to put 3D models together, upload them to the site, and (if you really want to) buy them with a customized box of your choosing. While it's not an MMORPG, it does allow you to build virtually. But it sucks. I think it seriously cramps the creativity of building with your hands. It lacks sensory perceptions (sight, feel).
IMHO, we've got too many kids (and adults) glued to their screens playing games all day. The MMO looks creative, but it takes the fun out of building when you have to use a mouse and keyboard.

Yes, Ron Paul will "revolutionize" this country...but...he's just not going to make it at all. Please accept this simple truth.
