As they talk about "community building the game" it gives - at least for me - the impression that there would be something more than just "write something in the games". I suppose this depends how far they are willing to go with the system. Oh, and off-topic - I messed up with names. Dperry was not the producer of Myst, Dan Irish was. (I read Dan Irish's book where Perry made some forewords and my memory played a small trick on me...) - edited the post now. @Nabeel: It’s true that I could have come up with a better title (MMO 2.0 was my term, not theirs) – but you never know if this promotional/Idols kind of “trick” actually produces something better.

Acclaim is simply running one contest to generate an idea (and more importantly, press) for an MMO. This is no different than the write-in contests that have been going on for decades, and hardly represents the kind of systematic user-generated content of blogging or social networks. If everyone on the art team, production team, and design team were all user contributed -- THAT would be MMO 2.0 (hell, i'd give it 2.5 if they could actually make a playable game that way).

I don't particularly feel like rebooting in windows or installing plugins just to view a website, the least these people can do is provide a text only alternative.
