Evolve as an MSO

Hehe... during our research, we stumbled upon an interview of Nicole Lazzaro which seems to directly say "I hope someone develops a game which combines WoW and Facebook" ...hehe... I wonder if one of you guys attended her presentation at the ION conference last year

...it seems quite interesting, and I do see good potential and even possible ways to realize this... if by chance you don't know of her, I can send you her articles and the interview transcript, or just look at http://www.xeodesign.com/about.html

So... Evolve is likely to be an MSO (Massively Social Online game) instead of an MMO...
...or maybe both in different aspects of the game?

Oh, and to no surprise, we also found a demographic survey to support what you've already told us: WoW gamers are averagely 30yrs old +- 10yrs

Also, XEODesign has conducted studies on what makes games fun to play, where they tested hard-core gamers, casual-gamers and non-gamers... this also sounds familiar
