Assuming that is the case, then I don't see any way to have a "sim" solution without involving downloadable content. Not that that is a bad thing, but right now, the niche I am looking at is cross-platform and out-of-game. Basically, I am working on something to keep people's minds occupied while they're at work. The funny part, I suppose, is that after reading a few html, javascript, php, xml and AJAX tutorials yesterday and today, I have a solid idea how to code the guts of the thing, but still need to learn how to make it presentable (not ugly) as a web page. What's really sad is that I haven't played WoW in over a month, but I still spend hours and hours on these projects.
