I wish they would bring it back :( it was awesome.
I was SO excited when TSO was ready to launch. It sounded like the greatest thing that had ever happened for the Sims. I got online...tried it, and I didn't like it at all. I played a second time and never went back after that. As someone else mentioned, it forced you to socialize. You had to take part in silly little games like pizza-making. From what I saw, it quickly became a glorified chat room, nothing more. It was a waste of both time and money, IMO.
The Sims was meant to be a "sandbox" game -- not a group endeavor. We all have different playing styles. There's no way to translate that sort of creative freedom into an online game.
