&gt; &gt; I guess our whole philosophy is that we'll just design a world full of
&gt; &gt; interesting and engaging stuff to do and see and visist and be.  What you
&gt; &gt; as a player want to do with that is completely up to you - there's no
&gt; &gt; default "game", persay.
&gt; 
&gt; This I like and plan to have something embodying the same concepts.  You
&gt; can pretty much do whatever you like, become whatever you want.  There's
&gt; a large amount of freedom in that:  you're not forcing someone to play
&gt; your game, but instead are giving them the means to (in a sense) create
&gt; their own game as they go along.  Much more enriching and fun, methinks.

My thoughts too, and my ultimate aim, I think.  Main reason for this post
is to ask Adam a question though...

What's the 'aim' of your game..?  Why will people play it?  (In fact, can
they play a game, or do they experience a world?)

Raz
(Um, okay, three questions =))
