Description

This proposal aims to address and reconsider the limitations currently imposed on Worlds within the Decentraland platform. These restrictions have ostensibly been put in place to maintain the value of land parcels within Genesis City. However, this practice contradicts the initial purpose of Worlds, which was to lower the barrier to entry and encourage a broader creator community. This proposal argues that the existing restrictions on Worlds do not enhance the value of Genesis City, and moreover, devalue the overall platform.

The 'value' of genesis city is not based on Decentraland being limited to 100k parcels as a metaverse engine. The value is in the potential of the overworld as we progress SDK development, DCL worlds is one of the BEST methods for extending overworld functionality via localized/custom builds. Truthfully, due to limitations, almost all of the best builds will end up being in worlds, and a majority of the value of the overworld will stem from socialization and locality. I.e. if a hot new club with custom VR and shaders appears in a DCL world, you are going to get a lot of 'overworld' value from having an entrance/exit to that club in the actual overworld, and any parcels that derive from it. Discoverability here is actually more beneficial for the overworld, as any truly successful 'world' would just be advertised on it's own link and merit. This experience is so powerful in fact, that you will find many 'Virtual clubs' in VRChat that actively 'fake' an overworld you can exit the club from. I.e. it takes you outside the club into another instance so you can 'hangout' in the localized overworld away from the intense lights/music. Value of DCL overworld can only come from further development and complexity enablement, it will not come from being scared and trying to protect 'value' via fake scarcity of a digital good. Voting yes, there is no reason not to unless you seek to hold back the platform in favor of a poorly thought out and likely short-term investment thesis.
