GEO

We know from canon that GEO was both addictive and fun, as well as (from Whisper) that there was something odd, or oddly wrong, with the game. For some reason it very strongly wanted to force players to choose between good and evil and was willing to cheat on players who were too successful on avoiding that choice.

From Gen 2 we only know that something happened shortly after the events described in Gen 1 so far, that caused GEO to be closed down. It was bad enough that even after all those years people did not play MMOs anymore. While game genres get popular and fall out of favour all the time, they don't simply disappear like that all of a sudden.

So ... what may have happened with that game, and the intent of the people or entities behindit?

I was not fishing for information. I know that the writers will not, and should not, give any hints about upcoming plot developments (so as not to spoil the surprise for everybody)

I was hoping that maybe some of the visitors of this discussion board would be interested in speculation I certainly did not mean to make participants uncomfortable who actually have some knowledge of GEO and the author's plans for it

The writers have given hints about upcoming plot developments all along, by and large for their own work.

Whether they've been interpreted accurately, that's an entirely different matter.
