I will restrict myself to expressing a sincere hope that,

  A) At some point, we master the 3D medium to where we regain some of 
the enormous expressive power a text-based game has, and
  B) We figure out a way to build a commercially viable yet intensely 
stateful game world, as opposed to the incredibly shallow worlds of 
(admittedly very fun) current MMOs.

On that day, there's no better engine than DGD/Hydra. You can't flush 
the entire countryside out to PostgreSQL every few seconds. In such a 
world, state needs to default to persisted.
