tsa i agree with you 1000 percent, re looking for a peaceful and creative multiplayer game, i still do feel MOUL will come back, in time...and in the meantime, I totally agree with your thoughts on the ones you have visited, There is a shallow sandbox, the Sims are a shallow reflection of the trials of ordinary life which i work hard to move far from in real lilfe so i have no desire to look for them in a game, and the violence ridden other major titles all lack real acomplisments or challenges that stimulate the soul, they rely on routine violence and agression and those are ways of moving along in life that have less than zero appeal for many of us.

Funcom is indeed working on a new multiplayer game and they have talked for some time about that and also episodes for Dreamfall....the pics of their multiplayer game are quite intriguing. There is a wonderful list that comes out each year of all upcoming and current game titles and there were quite a few multiplayer ones on it, but most have the flaws of violence and very limited quality objectives. Good to see you looking though and we certainly can hope that game makers will return to the quality and depth of games made for people who seek adventure and enjoyment and levels of experince that reach the depths of the human spirit and are not just jungle gymns for hyperactivity and guick thrills. I will look for that game list.
