Just something different to take a break from some of the.....drama.
Let us gather 12 million people for this experiment. We create their environment and conditions and give them the basic tools for survival and growth. We will make two factions and prevent communication between them. Within each faction there will be 10 different paths they may choose of their own free will. Each path has specific abilities that enhance one another. Thus forcing them to work together, and agaisnt the opposing faction. When they enter the environment they must work to grow and aquire strength and wealth. Their strength and wealth will give them their status in the world created for them. As they progress in strength and knowledge in this environment we will reward them with tools equal to their level.
We will retain the power to change the conditions at our discretion, or change the rules as it were. To fund this experiment we will charge the 12 million a portion of their real wealth to enter the environment. Let us charge them 15 units of currency for 30 days of access, 180,000,000 units in profit per 30 days for this experiment. Let us change the environment and tools given every six months without consultation outside of our group. And let us give them a form of comminication outside the controled environment so that we may observe and control their reactions through the created environment. We will also drop random rare rewards for their efforts and achievments, thus bolstering their ego and further encouragement to remain within the environment.
It is of utmost importance that we retain control over the environment and the 12 million subjects at all times. It is of equal importance we maintain and enhance the environment to ensure they "choose" to remain in the environment.
Six years later, the experiment continues. Profit is at 12,960,000,000 units and rising. Current participation remains at 12 million and growing.
Does this sound even possible? Could it be a reality?
I give you World of Warcraft. And you have never seen such a violent, and drama injected community such as this. Where the developers control every aspect of the game inside and out. Thier forums are full of hate, arguments, and anarchy. And yet it continues to exist. A social experiment success, with profit unimaginable.
