While I have not read the real ToS, the above two caught my eye as possible
problems. "Impersonate people" should (if it is not already) be defined to
not include taking on a game personae. I could easily see how the wording
might make it "mandatory" for me to play the game as Eli Stevens, college
student. Of course, it might not. ;)
Collecting info on other customers also strikes me as problematic (after
all, social games basically require you to collect info on other people,
otherwise they would not be social games :). Perhaps some sort of qualifier
such as "for use not pertaining to the participation in the game", although
that would make it a violation of the ToS to plan an out of game party, etc.
Maybe something like "for non-personal use" would be better? Or a combo,
"for non-personal or out-of-character use". Something that would allow both
in game collection (say, reporting demographic info on the characters to
your guild; "the shadow guild is getting quite strong") and out of game,
one-on-one info (like planning a picnic for players). Tricky.
Like I said, the real ToS may make these non-issues. Just my $.02. :)
