    Lol. I agree completely.

     

    How about MMOWS? Why doesn't massively multiplayer online web surfing get any respect? image

    Give it time and I'm sure it will. If LoL is going to call itself an mmo...this site might as well be too. :)

    Well people want to be entertained also.

     

    How about Massive Entertaining Online World  --- MEOW.  :)

    In fact, "immersion" and "entertainment" are often at odds. It's important for a given reader to determine which is more important (to him),

    Medieval setting with roller coasters - might be mildly entertaining, but hardly immersive.

    Medieval setting with Stocks for criminal control - immersive, but probably less than entertaining.
