Expression and communication are bound to spread and blossom, there is a way, from the smallest seed planted in the roughest terrain. This obviously applies to the communication component of the games we have been studying, and the creativity and thirst for knowledge that such gaming seems to engender can act as potent fertilizer for these seeds.
In addition to the benefits mentioned, participants in this genre of gaming are often used to being part of a functional team or clan, which may help an individual to develop integrity, loyalty and ethics in general. These traits are clearly useful in helping to create and maintain a succesful group of any kind; be it a club, or a village or even national government.
The use of gaming in the Iran voting scandal is a good example of communication finding a way through adversity. As technology continues to advance at a breakneck speed, the functions of MMORPGs such as WOW or WarHammer will most probably continue to increase proportionally.
