Moves like this herald an exciting future for the MMOs that try it. No more will players complain about lack of content. Imagine WoW with 7 million (okay, maybe 10 given that the other 6,999,990 people are 12 years old and unsophisticated) player-content creators. It really would be a great game, then.

I'm very interested to see how this works out for SoR--it could finally be a leap in the right direction that gets us off the technology treadmill and into the creative, player-controlled road!

In a loot-based game like WoW, this kind of thing wouldn't work so well. 99.99% of WoW players wouldn't touch player-made content if they could get "uber lewt" (*sigh*) in it, and if players were allowed to put that stuff in their dungeons, it would be massively abused. Just one more reason why "itemisation" is rubbish, IMO, and belongs in the past. Just look at how much content is out there for moddable CRPGs like Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights - that, in an MMO, is a hugely exciting prospect.
