I think what it is, from Mythic’s standpoint … they have a certain game, a massively multiplayer game that people play, and there’s an inherent value in the time people spend in the game. Mythic has the problem that they designed these worlds to be non-virtual economics worlds, so yes, of course, there are inevitably people churning out money, that’s kind of inevitable.” […] Are they fighting a losing battle? “Well,” he begins in a hesitant, wanting-to-be-diplomatic tone, “yeah. But I think it’s only a problem for them with the current generation of games. If they redesigned or remade those games, or in the next generation of massively multiplayers.”

text: By 2012 the distinction between our solar system’s inner rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt) and its outer gas and ice giants (where most of the nonsolar mass resides) had also been drawn more definitively and generically, with a second asteroid-like cluster, the Kuiper Belt (undesignated in 1988), added to demarcate a planetary (or “dwarf planetary”) sphere beyond Neptune. […] As the dwarf-planetary sublimation of Mars, Eris is “very strong, volatile, and vicious”; she hates to be left out of anything, especially good old fracases and brouhahas. Acting as psycho as the situation allows, she is the last god to leave the battlefield, as she feeds off the mayhem and madness of destruction while having the best time of all.
