Trust me, you won't.
I bet in 10 years, Message Boards will be virtual towns where you create a character, design the exterior and interior of a house, and then decide where it goes. Just choose a free spot in a town, and there you go. New house.Here is EoFF town: In the middle of town is the IRC Reality Chat Room, where the topic varies. To the east of it is the General Room. To the West is the General Gaming Room. To the North is numbered FF game room. To the south is the side FF game room. Once inside one of the rooms, (Besides the IRCR Chat Room) you have the choice to speak with people regularly, or you can use one of the local computers to use the classic MB way. In the IRCR chat room, it's the same, except instead of the classic MB way, you have the classic IRC Chat way. Around the IRC Building and all the MB buildings, the entire city is circular. The South and North quarters are Residential Area's. The East and West are shop area's. (Inn's if you are visiting town, food shops if your PC is compatible with virtual taste, Generic RPG Item shops, etc.)
Outside town is a large world, and each town is another message board associated with EZVR. (EZ Virtual Reality) Certain towns have certain special titles. When you create the board, you choose the special title. The title decides what kind of town it is. After you gain a certain amount of points, you can get an addition to the title. EoFF was at first a village, but then they became a city. After that, they got Airships! So it became the City of Airships! woot! These Airships can go to other places with Airships. Port towns ships can go to other port towns, Train Stations Trains can go to other train stations, etc. You get money by taking jobs from weird NPC's, and you can spend this money on Weapons, Armor, etc. Why you need them? Monsters roam the world outside towns! ZOMG! And also, the creator of the board gets to decide what monsters are outside the towns.
You can rent vehicles to get across the world, or you can get one of the other types of vehicles. (Airships, Boats, you know.) Or if you're lame you can walk and get ambushed by monsters.
So basically, in 10 years, EoFF will be an MMORPG.
