 Making [[Visits]] possible is usually done to provide [[Social Interaction]] in a way that limits the risks of [[Conflicts]] simply because of the [[Limited Set of Actions]] possible. One way of guaranteeing this is to make the [[Limited Set of Actions]] only consists of [[Altruistic Actions]]. By doing so, they can add [[Social Interaction]] to [[Massively Single-Player Online Games]] while maintaining [[Casual Gameplay]].
