You need to be able to meet with new people to play since oyu might not have a group to begin with. Also one of the big advantages to a VTT that you don't always have to have a planned group.While the size may be that of a convention, there is more of a game store feel to it, where you don't really get to choose your entire group beforehand, but can find tables with an empty seat and sit down to play, much as you can any online poker game.You have the DMs game descriptions so can join if those interest you and start working things out, or come with a character for the DM to approve if they have any restrictions, and start playing with the random group of people, much like a games day.Well you had to register for them, but players weren't assigned to tables first, but more like a MtG tournament, after everyone was ready people were randomly seated.There needs to be that option to play with random strangers for the VTT to fully achieve its potential.Some might use it so they dont have to drive to play at one person's kitchen table, but others will love the ability to grab a one-shot with random people, when they don't have a game, but have that gaming itch, much like most online games where you join a group of people and play, Halo, CoD, whatever.</blockquote>
