[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4615056, member: 23977"] One of the biggest "flaws" tabletop RPGs have compaired to MMOs is that you need to have a group willing to play the game with you. By offering a VTT someone who just got the game can log on and get into a game in almost no time. They won't have to spend a lot of time looking for a group, convincing peple to play, or any other number of things that could cause said future player to say: "Screw this Warcraft is easier." Works for any gamer looking for a game as well. You could live in east bumbleschmuk and still find gamers willing to game. The two biggest elements I see in it';s favor are: 1. The lobby- Most (all?) of the online game tools I;ve seen so far seem to need everyone involved to already know eachother. Someone is a host and everyone logs into his game etc... A lobby means you can simply log on, and say: "hey lets game." 2. It's on the WoTC website- Since the game is made by WoTC thats probably the first place someone will go looking for more info on the game. Which means more people seeing the fact that you can get into a game almost instantly. [/QUOTE]
