I was given a play-test

I was given a play-test copy of The Sims Online yesterday. The game won't launch for a couple of weeks still, but they have a few thousand people playing it so they can test the system and get feedback. I am now one of those people. So far, it's a lot of fun. If you've ever played The Sims, you'll feel instantly at home, though this moves at a slower pace, and you don't disappear off to work for most of the day. Having real roommates is kind of neat, the woman I'm shacked up with bought some really ugly chairs to put in the living room though. I'm going to have to talk to her about that...
