I don't think it's a problem of fun, but of profit. I too want an mmo that is closer to a social experiment than a slot machine, but one of those is easier to make and has a more reliable business model to justify the expenses to make it.

Second Life was once this grand experiment. I recall you ended up with weird things happening virtual real estate tycoon Anshe Chung being chased by a horde of scripted dildos chasing her avatar around. All the money in the virtual world still can’t save you from trolling.

I don’t really know what Second Life is doing now. It damn near ruined my real life so I don’t care to check in on it.
