I have discovered COE about 3/4 years ago and ever since I have been fascinated by the game and its vision.
Lately I have been reading all the articles again and talked it over with some friends. Almost all discussions where about one question: does the soulbound engine really allow unlimited possibilties?
For example: If there is a University in the game (or just a place where they try to discover and develop stuff). Is it possible for the players to create something that the developers did not intend them to build? Or formulated differently: Is the game code restricting the players or is the game code learning and adapting, so that they players dont feel restricted at all?
This questions works for other parts of society or even the natural world aswell. If a settlement overhuntes or overuses all the ressources around it, they would have to move to another settlement. This will resolve in a shortage of food in the second settlement which will resolve in another migration. Is it possible to ruin the whole world or are there mechanisms to stop that from happenig?
You can ask so many more questions that will all come together to one point: How much freedom will the game really give us and is it possible to create new things that where never even intented to be in the game?
I really look forward to play the game and I already enjoy the new challenges this game will give us for the first time in a mmo. Thank you so much :)
