If anyone knows what the game Utopia (http://www.utopia-game.com) was like circa 2002, you'll understand what I'm asking about...
Does anyone know of a friendly, tight-knit community game that currently hosts 10,000+ players? I'm looking for any game in which players converse in multiple languages (not individuals, but ones in which the community communication is not homogeneous overall). This isn't super important, but if I could find a community similar to Utopia's old community (10's of thousands of players, semi-randomly assigned, with varying language capabilities) I'd have a fun way to write my thesis paper. This is one of the few online communities that I still even somewhat interact with so I thought I'd ask you guys.
The biggest limiting factor is that, like Utopia, the communities need to present some opportunities for people of different native languages to be forced to communicate in the same language. This technically exists on heRO but our community isn't really big enough for me to generate any significant results, I doubt.
