So far so good. I'm playing on a friend's server. This isn't that hard to survive. I'm totally ready to take on the world. I think I'll hop over to a public server for a few minutes and show these newbies my mad skills.... OOOHHH GOD!!! WHY ARE YOU EATING MY LEG,,, Guurrrgle,,. guurlge,.. blub... blub.., blaaahhhhh.,,

Awakened by an epiphany. I've been playing this for a few weeks on a friend's private and friendly and cooperative server for several weeks now. If our little tribe of 20, or so, plays this long enough to all have attained the ability to make all the highest tech available within the Engrams limit, will we start forming factories to barter and trade among ourselfs for resources? Will we establish our own in-game currencies for each tribe? Will we designate tribe leaders to confir whith each other for wars on neighboring tribes? Will these conglomerate tribes form governments and eventually laws, and .....
The only long-term outcome this game will have at its current style of play (please don't make me do mmorpg quests) is the creation of civilations. Which is an awesome thing to be able to compare to world history and... the possible future! This could be used like a simulation for future world social/economic changes... MY BRAIN!!! IT HURTS US, HOBBITTSES!!!

BTW, did I mentioned it's an awesome game to play when sparked? ;-)
