Constructing your world

Remember back in elementary school when we had to make castles? Who didn't love that! Some used lego, some plain ol' cardboard - I even remember some marshmallow castles.

Awesome, right? It just gets better. Imagine, if you will, being able to explore these structures to scale. Minecraft and Terraria step up to the plate. You can build whatever you want. Well, almost whatever. But people have figured some things out.

Behold! Castles and then Castles.
It doesn't stop there; you'll notice that in both these cases there were multiple people (or at least their avatars) running around in these worlds. People often work together to make even BIGGER projects. Engineering projects, Mega construction projects. No one person could ever do some of these alone, so they set up servers and invite others to join in.

These are games. People do this stuff for fun. No one made them do it and it doesn't happen for any specific real-world purpose, most of the time. But it happens. Spontaneously.
