Well, we're just hashing out some ideas here. Luckily, the distances involved in circum-navigating a virtual globe in real-time do not compare with the vastness of space. So 'Jump-gates' and the like are not necessary. The virtual globe doesn't have to be to scale remember, it could be 1/8th size or something. I think with enough players online, piloting planes aswell as Naval and Merchant vessels, there will be plenty to see and do. Like in Eve ,some people will just hang out and be sociable, others will be transporting troops and/or cargo, others will play purely a military role. We're just trying to establish if a WWII, Naval based MMORPG is feasible:hmm:, any suggestions are welcome.

As for player satisfaction from the acumulation of wealth or power, I'm not sure, but BF2 has a simple promotion system that's kinda fun, maybe something similar could work for this?
