I found [this article](http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/society/preview_6126078.html) about a game called Society and I want it! What do you all think? ---

It’s a great idea that’s been around for years. If these guys have actually pulled it off, good for them. But I wouldn’t buy it right out the gate. The technical and rules design issues involved in pulling this off are… how can I put this… crazy insane. > [@](#): > > Society sounds like a very cool concept, but it’s still a game that’s got a long way to go. Stardock is still in the early stages of Society. And Wardell says that they want to take it slow, and that they’ll go through a lengthy beta process similar to that of World of Warcraft, which Blizzard tested for almost a year before shipping. That means we’ll probably see Society ship in late 2007. I call vaporware until I see a beta. ---

You might be right, but I still want it 😉
