Quite true. For the uninitiated, these "brave new worlds" can often
inspire incredible naiveté. However, UO was on the leading edge of
MMORPG development at the time, and its success bred the griefing
and abuse that result in so much debate here and elsewhere. I'd like
to think that someone at Sims Online is paying attention.

How's that for naiveté? ;)
