[[WMG: Touri is King of Westlande]]
He's only a figurehead king, without any real political power, but its the only way any of the events of the first half of Season 3 make any sense whatsoever. This way, Touri, as King can grant Eins the title of Duke of Akihabara, and Eins can swear fealty to King Touri as his lord.

[[WMG: Westlande's ploy with Duke Eins was never expected to succeed.]]
The Westland senate was afraid of giving King Touri any real power, and having a powerful adventurer swear fealty to him would be giving him exactly that. Likely, the expectation was that this ploy would be defeated by the adventurers of Akihabara, leaving Touri in an even worse position, while at the same time, sowing political confusion and damage.

[[WMG: Shiroe doomed the economy via hyperinflation.]]
Adventures fight monsters, get cash dropped by monsters, and use these to buy goods and services. It would be logical that there would be so much gold in the system that goods and services would eventually cost so much because the value of each individual coin would go down. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if coins were allowed to leave circulation, and there was a method for this, buying property would have you paying gold to the system, and would no longer be in circulation. In addition to this, you would need to pay monthly tax on the properties you own, which would also take money out of circulation. However, when Shiroe made a contract with the Kunie clan to take all the money for guildhall and cathedral maintenance, plus all the money for the zones in and around Akhihabara this removed a valuable method to drain money from the system. Unless there are other methods to drain money from adventurers, this will mean that they will keep accumulating wealth, until money eventually becomes worthless.

Finally was able to dig up the actual quote.


'The guild house's foundations were rickety, and when bad weather came along, the house collapsed.' according to Nyanta. This should probably not be taken literally. What likely really happened was that basing a Guild around just being Catperson was a bad idea, as everyone had different ideas about what it means to be a Catperson and would roleplay it differently. There was no real bond between the members, and when disagreements happened, there would either be fights or people walking away. In the end, there wasn't enough to people to keep it afloat.

Starting in the USA, the MMO eventually spread world wide, including to Russia [[spoiler:in the continuity where Strelok joined (rather than destroyed) the C-Consciousness]]. The C-C started and maintained Russian server, which got them in the door for becoming a third-party developer working with Altharva Inc. With the last expansion, "Homesteading the Noosphere" the C-C linked the entire system as part of an experiment, the results of which created the "May Incident".

He's amazingly familiar with World-class magic having researched it before. However, it was not out of any malicious intent, but it was in order to counter the Geniuses.

\n[[WMG: If Elder Tales had remained a game, the Ancients would've been killed off in the storyline.]]
The Ancients were [[CrutchCharacter crutch characters]], that battled the heavy hitter enemies, until the Adventurers grew strong enough to take over. Part of the storyline of the expansion would be that the Geniuses would've killed the Ancients, and the players would've needed to pick up the slack in defending the world. Elder Tales is no longer a game, but certain planned story elements carried over, such as the one above, which is why it was so easy for the Geniuses to defeat the Ancients, even though they were out-numbered 5 to 1.

Basically, what i'm saying is that, once someone reaches Level 100, they'll expect to stop levelling, only to find that they keep gaining experience, meaning adventurers in the Yamato server can keep on leveling forever, constantly becoming stronger.
* Also, as an addenum to this, any players who leave the Yamato server revert to Level 90, as none of the other servers had the expansion, but they regain their normal level when they return to it. Similarly, any external players (such as Kanami) who enter the Yamato server gain the ability to become higher than Level 90, though they don't gain any immediate experience for everything they did outside of it.

[[WMG: The titular horizon is the event horizon of TheSingularity.]]

* As the world is clearly a simulation RPGMechanicsVerse rather than a genuine fantasy world, it might be plausible to consider that the players underwent BrainUploading. One possibility of how this could happen is if a superintelligent AI with benefolent intent but BlueAndOrangeMorality decided to improve the lives of humans by creating utopian worlds that fulfill their desires. It's just that MMO gamers actually don't want peace and quiet: their particular desire is an adventure where they can experience peril and hardship, but on their own terms, with fair rules for all, guaranteed rewards for becoming good at the game whether it's measured in terms of mastery, strategy or perseverance, and the ability to keep improving ever after.
