allowing players to create their own Ages might be what's needed to turn the tables.

Oh, I wasn't talking about *that*.

I don't disagree, mind you. But I have nothing to add about player Age creation; we said it all in 2007. I built my experimental player-Age-creation engine five years ago. It ...

I've seen some discussion recently of "gardening" mechanics in games -- building and customizing social spaces. This is easy to find in single-player games (Stardew Valley), but it doesn't seem to have penetrated the MMO mindset.

Hi!

Deledrius is correct. You need to install MongoDB, Python3, and the appropriate Python modules (Tornado, PyMongo, Motor). This should be straightforward on Mac (using Homebrew) or Linux (using whatever package manager the Linux uses). The sample tworld.conf is set to use port 4000, so it won't ...

Maybe iTunes is opening your firewall in some way which the game turns out to rely on?

(Not something I've heard of re iTunes, but it's all I can think of.)

Well, that was fun and tiring. I don't think it's generated any extra activity, but I talked with a lot of people about the game.
