-Characters arrive, full grown and capable people, as exiles from "The Old World" (basically medieval Earth) via gates scattered here and there over the world fo play. Players can concoct whatever reason they wish for why their character was exiled, but there's no returning through the gates, and so no way to verify these things.

 Gates are set up far apart from each other, far enough to make it likely that multiple communities will develop.

 ==== Non-boring Resource Gathering ====
-Players who find going through the motions of resource gathering for whatever reason, can do so, and obtain modest efficiency benefits from doing so. But for other players who are not interested in these sorts of activities, they can set up production cycles for resources that occur over time, slowly when the player is online playing, and at full-speed when the player is offline. This incentivizes players to take breaks and lessens server impact.

 NO LEVELS! Characters develop mostly in terms of skills, and sometimes with slight gains in attributes. But at no time ever will any character be so physically potent that they do not fear the wrath of another player's character, who might sneak up and stab them fatally in the back. And they certainly cannot withstand a group of determined individuals seeking to incarcerate or do harm to the character.
+==== Baddies ====
+There will be some predatory fauna in the game, but these will NOT "respawn." Once dead, they are dead for good. They will also tend not to rampage much in the areas around gates, so they're not that much of a threat to communities. They will be a threat, however, to those ranging far out in order to find resources.
+==== Otherworlds ====
+There will be gates to otherworldly places, where characters can go on relatively dangerous quests, often with magical rewards (see Heroquest). The static nature of these worlds explains their "instancy" nature... though with enough effort, even the instances can be altered permanently.
