Interlude 1

'This decision is killing me!!!' I lay in my mansion in Altissia trying, as I have been for two days, trying to decide on what IP to build next. I've narrowed it down but I can't decide...I've considered many IPs heck, I've even considered simply putting in a 'small-world' game like Skyrim.

However that's not a 'balanced' thing to add next since with the current level of Travelers (who are in The Four Nations) performance, they won't have the strength that can match Skyrim's power levels when they return to Altissia.

I know that the returning Travelers of TFNs and worlds like Skyrim will be more evenly matched in the arena once we reach Korra's time since skilled people are everywhere and high-level bending styles are more commonplace. However, not even the 'White Lotus' itself can handle Castle Volkihar's vampires at the moment much less the Daderic Gods, Dragon Shouts, College Mages, etc...

I'm not saying that there aren't powerful people in both worlds that can certainly combat one another but the average power level and the diversity of abilities between the two worlds are too imbalanced. Thus, Travelers who have abilities or items from one will be too powerful compared to the other...' I need to find a world that is balanced to The Four Nations at least until Korra's plot is here...'

'Pokemon? Bleach? Naruto? One-piece?...' Nah, they are too different at the current level of TFNs. I finally finished my internal struggle after arguing with myself about whether or not HunterxHunter's world could balance TFNs, but all it would take is one creative person to come back from HxH world and then BOOM, top of Heavens Arena in Altissia for him.

Although the average power level between the populations of the world may be close in power, the upper limit of Nen holds more potential at the moment so I better hold off on that...

After much thought, I've decided to bring a staple of leisurely played games from my old life. This will keep both Travelers and Netizens engaged until Korra's plot comes up and we can introduce more high-level wolds. That world will be Minecraft!

'I think giving the Travelers a sense of what it's like to be me will be fun! But, I need to figure out how to change the structure to better suit the VR.'

After a while of thinking, I decided to simply make ONE Minecraft world (Server) HUGE! When I say huge, I mean HUGE!

The world itself will be a copy of earth but 2x larger. I'm only planning on letting about 400 new people in by the time Minecraft goes online so this is plenty enough space for those who want to "play solo" to explore. Most contact between players will happen in the 'other dimensions like the Nether since the size of it is so much smaller than the normal world and The End entrance will be connected as well hehe...

If you don't want to fight or mingle, you better stay in the starting Minecraft world and chill...otherwise, hehe...

I'll also be upping the graphics from the pixel style to be more similar to life. I will have the AI modify all crafting recipes and textures to be more cohesive with the new art style. It will feel 'fictional' of course since I don't want to remove the game-like quality of Minecraft since it won't be as fun if it's like what I did with TFNs.

I want this to be one of those games that will get those 'scared' players that I know will become common to hope in my world. As long as you don't go out at night and stay away from natural structures, you should have a leisurely creative life in Minecraft.

I will also allow devices to be used in Minecraft such as chatting, shopping, etc... It will be like living in BSU but instead in a world where you can build a house in one hour haha!

The basic rule is that you cannot take items to and from Minecraft World, your 'body' in Minecraft will sleep when you log out (like ARK) and is vulnerable and PVP is of course allowed. Many more rules apply but one can get the gist...
