Line 60:
* [[Prequel]]: "Real Life Prehistoric".
* [[The Promised Land]]: Users on third-world country servers view first-world servers as such, and try to do anything to switch over. For some, switching over brings them better gameplay, but for others, life doesn't improve that much. In the late 19th century edition of Real Life, many players tried to switch over to the United States server. How well it worked out for them varied from player to player.
* [[Punk Punk]]: Constantly averted. Every time it looks like a Punk genre is going to [[Genre Shift|take over]], fate pulls a fast one and stops work on that tech tree. [[Steampunk]] / [[Clock Punk]] never got going, though they're good fun for hobbying. The only part of the world that took [[Ocean Punk]] seriously was the Carribean area, [[
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: Averted in the extreme. For instance, male characters have a [[Groin Attack|weak point]] while female characters suffer a nasty debuff once a month. Female characters also tend to have lower starting STR scores, and on some servers, penalties (sometimes ''massive'' penalties) to Respect ratings. Some players claim these disadvantages are offset by increased WIS and CHA scores, but there is still controversy on this point.
** Perhaps also subverted in the form of transsexual people in that they lack most of the above characteristics but often face severe penalties for having a [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]].
