Topia Online

This Massive Multiplayer Online RPG aims to give all the game creation tools to the players and let them create their own content. Power to create is granted and revoked to users by other users. This is supposed to ensure no one gets to powerful. Characters are always online, even when players are not. Certain game rules are in place to protect the characters from off-line attacks but not to the point that these characters do not stop participating. Users can create minions to take care of jobs that might be classified as grinding. The developers same there is no grinding in the game (and if players grind anyhow, it is of no advantage). Advancement is gained through social interaction, not PvP. PvP is definitely allowed, but players killing players is disadvantageous. Players don't just create the forces of evil, they are the forces of evil if they so choose. Since players make the rules, slimes could seek to take over the world just as zombies, dragons, or a dark wizard might. Slimes, Molds, and Gelatonus cubes can theoretically become just as powerful as a 9-Headed Mithral-plated Crystaline-Gold Phase Dragon Lich King. Each game server begins with a randomly generated world suitable to be shaped, molded, modified, populated, and ruled by the players that enter it. Simple world building, moving trees, placing monsters, is done simply. Access to the game is a one-time payment, no subscriptions, no payment for additional content, no pay-to-win marketplace. A gains in the game use in-game currency (called influence) earned though social interaction. Players with more skills will write scripts and make the animations. These are offered in an in-game marketplace where less skilled players can buy them and perhaps modify them. Art is likewise offered.
