So essentially it's for people to run their own
Travian type worlds?
I'm not sure why people are so fixated on the EULA/Legal issues. They really aren't that major and have been covered ad nauseum in other games/venues.
I'm just curious in regards to how metaplace will sell itself to joe gamer. Joe basement developer will be interested if it becomes a 'Field of Dreams' setup, where you can get more access and people for your worlds.
It sounds neat, but I'm not sure if the sandbox approach will work, but kudos on an interesting idea.
