Players win by doing brave stuff making deals building big churches and hidden groves and raising cities and fortresses then getting other players to follow them.
Travel is a big deal because there is no teleportation. Players make roads waystations and even secret underground railways to get around. Some crops and saplings only work in certain biomes so trading becomes important and regions start to feel different.
There is also a lot of mystery. You do not get a big wiki and instead you learn the world through a handbook at spawn plus tons of in game books written by players. Politics history religion and strange transmundane secrets are things you find by exploring and talking to people in libraries towers and sacred places.
