This opinion piece discusses the concept of loneliness in MMORPGs, arguing that games like Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft leverage the feeling of emptiness in their vast worlds to encourage player interaction. In contrast, games like Star Wars: The Old Republic actively try to eliminate loneliness, which the author believes diminishes the sense of a living world and the impetus for social connection.
