![]() This deprives users of their rights as authors. Users of MMOs are required to consent to the deprivation of rights in both authorship and intellectual property before they can access multi-user environments. The concept of authorship does not receive adequate attention or recognition in MMOs and online games in particular appear to deprive authors of their rights, both legally and morally. In Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs) and virtual worlds, the idea of authors seems to have ‘died’ or been ‘wiped out,’ at least from the perspective of users. Therefore, this is critically a choral approach to excessive authoritarian tendencies of developers in framing their Austin-motivated, one-sided and feudalistic EULAs which displaces avatars or forces avatars to be displaced in MMORPGs. ![]() The paper critically evaluates the characters of EULAs which ought to incorporate universal principles of human rights laws. This state of MMORPGs challenges the conventional human rights jurisprudence on the points of principles of equality, accountability, justice and non-discrimination in ascertaining rights to ownership of virtual property. The legislation of MMORPGs is vested only upon developers. Most EULAs do not recognize avatars’ ethical and rational rights to ownership over virtual properties. State silence, corporate showdowns and State protected End User License Agreements (EULAs) marginalize avatars of MMORPGs who represent human being. The rules of MMORPGs (EULAs) are fixed by developers and they do not accommodate universal principles of human rights jurisprudence. Human being, the users, is often found displaced in MMORPGs depriving rights to properties, time, money, skill and persistence into such digital worlds. This conventional attitude of human rights, at present, ignores the reality of human interactions in cyberspaces of Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) where real life is super-dimensional within the harbor of reality and materially vigilant human simulation through digital selves (avatars). Human Rights jurisprudence is always about human enterprises in real world.

The discussion of virtual property will be facilitated by reference to some of the ancillary and more complicated areas of the field to serve as a point of reference leading to an understanding of the concept of virtual property in general. However, the focus in this paper is on the type of virtual property found inside virtual worlds. Indeed, one can go so far as to include digital goods, such as digital versions of books (e-books), computer or smartphone programmes or apps, television series and movies as well as digital music (albums and tracks) as objects of virtual property. ![]() It includes (amongst other things) website addresses and email addresses as well as certain other accepted immaterial property objects such as bank accounts, stocks, options and derivatives. Virtual property is still property, and it still exists even though it is intangible. A universally accepted definition of virtual property is hard to come by, but the paper will aim to provide some clarity on the issue. Fans of RimWorld and other base-building games will enjoy this one.This article serves as an introduction to the concept of virtual property and also to very briefly note the relevance of virtual property in modern society. The Final Earth 2 strikes a good balance between in-depth city building and resource management and catering to casual city building fans. ![]() If you select the Forest where your workers gather resources, you can decide whether to cut the forest down and regrow it, to protect it indefinitely, or to cut it down and uproot. One of your initial tasks is to build a woodcutting hut. But if you want workers to switch from woodcutting to mining stone, you have to direct them. Your workers are semi-automated, getting on with whatever task is available from the buildings you have already built. You place buildings to rebuild humanity slowly. The Final Earth 2 works from a side-on, 2D pixel view. For an unspecified reason, the Earth is now uninhabitable, so this rock is the new home of humanity. Your new city inhabits a rock floating through space. The Final Earth 2 is a colony management and city builder game set in the future.
