The worlds of the online games are dangerous places, that is WHY WE PLAY THERE. Nobody wants to play an online game that focuses on going to work from 8-5, sitting in traffic, paying the mortage, and hauling the kids to the doctor.
Isn't that what The Sims 2 is going to pretty much be like?

I'll bet the board is also just full of people who've used Death Spores to commit xenocide in Master of Orion, or blew up a planet or two with the stellar converter.
