MMO's need to be all about exploration again, not grinding and being the best. That was kinda what UO was all about, and a lot of old MUDs too.

This brought a tear to my eye, if you play MMOs, probably to you too. (http://www.zippyvideos.com/5952400005419816/meetingagain-en/)

Ok, so basically it's an MMO, where you can create everything on the fly: content, terrain, etc. You only have to give the simplest commands, and the game procedurally does all the work for you.

Like in Spore: you know how you could just say "ok this is the spine, this is where your parts are" and the game would take that, and figure out for you how the creature would walk and attack and stuff? You didn't have to animate it yourself, the game figured that out on its own.

Love is similar, in that you only need to give the simplest commands, and the game procedurally develops for you.

Not to mention it's fucking beautiful.
