Heh yeah… "social gaming" began in 1974 with the birth of tabletop D&D. The games we all play here would never exist if it weren't for that. Garriott has a long history with D&D so obviously he would be interested in the social potential of RPGs. He even shows off some of his old D&D notebooks in the live streams which is really cool to see and hear about.
In this last stream they mentioned they're considering the possibility of player-created content. This could be awesome - imagine players being able to design their own items, houses, dungeons, and quests (like in NWN). Or how about special moongates leading to player-created realms?
