'I'm Aromantic, This Is What It's Like'.Allowing people to form real social circles and bonds with people they interact with, all around the world. What I wanted to do was create a platform that was analogous to what humans are like originally.

You're always hearing about other people getting a promotion or going on vacation. You may have hundreds or thousands of friends on Facebook, but somebody always seems to be doing better than you are. It seemed to me that they were designed so that everybody would become jealous. I felt that the way most social media platforms were shaping up were giving a distorted view of people's lives. I started working on Utherverse, a 3D virtual reality social network, around 2003, but it launched in 2005. That was sort of the genesis for the idea of creating my own virtual reality world.

I realized this game was great for going out to adventure but it was even better for just going to be social. What floored me was that the quest would be going along just fine with five or six guys and then a woman would want to join our quest, and everything would stop-people would start talking and flirting. I would usually adventure solo, but every now and again I would get into a group and we would go on some kind of quest. Around that time, as a hobby I picked up one of the first three massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, Asheron's Call-it was a hugely entertaining Dungeons and Dragons type game. Before I was creating avatar real world representations, I was a key innovator for the very early internet in the 90s.
