The idea that there aren't "casuals" who played Ultima Online or EVE is ridiculous. You can play anything hardcore OR casual. It's a ridiculous line in the sand to draw and only people who don't know what they're talking about it do it.
Bravo to this. It seems that the more people play MMO games, the more acute the division becomes. MMOs have become the past time of so many people now from kids to retirees. It is no longer the niche market of 15 or so years ago.
