I think there were daily mechanics that kept players coming back like feeding your pet, investing, etc. like $degen allowances are kind of a mechanic here but there was an ethos of exploring and expressing that permeated the game that ethos started from the founders Adam & Donna. They were wickedly creative geniuses
