Planetarion isn't a MMORPG though, it isn't a role playing game, it resets far to often and doesn't have the depth needed to qualify.

A MMORPG is in an entirely different league, some of the community aspects are ofcourse relevant but you can't really compare them. Just a quick example, people who play MMORPG's can be divided into 4 categories. 1) Explorers 2) Achievers 3) Community players 4) Killers.
You cannot do this for planetarion, there is nothing to explore in planetarion and essentially we all belong to the killer (pk) group. We have community players you say? No we don't, the community people are the ones that don't play PA anymore but hang out here. Killers and Community players don't mix, the more you have of the one, the less you will have of the other, its a fact. And since we are all killers to begin with.

Point is, planetarion isn't a MMORPG, it could have the numbers of a MMORPG, but it will never be one in the game type, hence I don't think the majority of these issues are relevant, except for maybe the community management ideas.
