Perhaps in 5 to 10 years, if interface development has stabilized,
we'll see an "IEEE Standard for MMOG User Interfaces." Games that
adhere to it would be allowed to put a little IEEE logo on their
boxes...right next to the Surgeon General's warning: "MMOGs are
addictive and not for the morally impressionable! Play at your own
risk."
