All the interest from here is in the voting results. The 5 or 6 here that will likely create or be involved in creating a game server will likely only be 'influenced' by what they learn. It is not like they need to sell their ideas. Fans can debate all they want. It is the ideas they have that may have been overlooked that can be helpful. Someone may have a better idea. The initial poster and OU peeps do not have to engage the debate. Observe and learn... or not learn if there are no good ideas presented. Nothing the participants say is binding.
In any event the information is more along the lines of a marketing study than a mandate of what must be done. This is something to guide developers' decisions. Developers will make their decision based on what they decide from the information revealed.
The debates gives the participants something to do and keeps them out of trouble...

As for testing the game scenarios... several companies are experimenting in SL. A number of RPG's do testing in SL. Whether there is enough time and it is worth the effort is a question. Eder D'Uru is growing into an more and more complete Uru. Observing how things are working there may provide answers. It is always easy to find someone that is clueless about Uru and ask or pay them to help (L$100=US$0.38) and give you first impressions.
