Of course the old client didn't really like being minimized, either. That also helped encourage socialization during downtime. On P1999, if someone walks past me when I'm meditating and says "Hi," odds are as good as not that I won't even notice because I'm reading wikipedia or something.

This probably has more to due with the lack of socializing in the game as much as anything. With old computer systems it was a chore just to minimize and you were lucky if it maximized back without crashing lol the other main reason for the difference in socialization is ventrilo or teamspeak. Other voice clients that allow people in a group to talk to each other without typing.
Today's mmo's have also ruined gaming in a sense that people prefer to solo, prefer to be loaners, and prefer not to count on anyone to get them exp. The questing system, the linear progression of most games has changed the way everyone plays. Me I like to socialize. I love to chat. I like yacking peoples ears off. It's fun to impart knowledge and also at the same time take it in. Not everyone is this way.
