From a recent IM conversation…
friend: So I was looking into that Tokimemo MMO, and discovered an interesting thing. PCs can *only* date designated NPCs. There is *no* PC-PC romantic interaction.
me: That is strange; maybe they’re just following the mold of all other MMORPGs, and sort of shoe-horning the “date-ables” into the role usually filled by monsters. You start out dating the really ugly girls, and once you grind on them for a while you move up to the slightly less ugly girls. Eventually you can get high enough to do “team raids” on legendary girls, for epic loot!
friend: See, I knew you were going to go there.

It’s like high school all over again, except the NPCs will probably make for smarter conversation.
