Heh, oh yeah... paritcualrly in the comemrical world...
UOL has been makign all these noises about their great ecological simualtion-
PREDICTION: Within 3 motnhs a group of purposefully destructive polayers
will have blasted hell out of their "delicate ecology" just fo the purile
thrill of destruction.
I do NOT believe in uncontrolled simulation. In an unctonroleld world with
few real world consequences, the destructive minority destroy the
experience for everyone.
