Years ago, I spent an unreasonable amount of time in Wurm Online, an old, janky, wonderful 3D sandbox MMO. The kind of game where you chop down a tree, saw it into planks, shape the planks into hull parts, and assemble a boat piece by piece. Nothing is given to you. Everything is earned through grind.</p> <p>When you finally finished your boat (after days, sometimes weeks of work) you were supposed to make a lock. A separate item, crafted separately, applied separately. The lock was what made the boat actually yours in any meaningful sense.</p>
