+    <p>
+        Back in my childhood I used to play quite the amount of MMORPGs(mostly because they were free, but also because they were online).
+        The more time passed, the less MMORPGs I got to play, most of the good options were either shut down 
+        or got SUCH a power creep I lost interest in them(like MapleStory when they started adding a lot of overpowered classes).
+        As an aspiring game developer, I hope to one day attempt making my own MMORPG, and something which is (sort of) important to me
+        is for the game to be decentralized/federated.
+    </p>

+    <h2 id="why make a decentralized mmo tho?">Why make a decentralized MMO tho?</h2>
+    <p>
+        Well, you see, whenever I look for alternatives to big centralized services(like Github or social medias),
+        it always seems to me that the best choice is to decentralize and federate it. That way, anyone can create their own instance
+        and not miss out on everyone else, allowing both greater control to the individual, while also sharing the costs between those
+        who host their own(and those who decide to donate them).
+        <br>
+        Besides, there are some useful advantages to federating a bunch of servers in an MMO which will hopefully become clearer later on. 
+    </p>
+    <hr/>
+    <h2 id="the big picture">The Big Picture</h2>
+    <p>
+        Mainly, there will be 2 different types of servers:
+        <ul>
+            <li><a href="#hubs">Hubs(or Home servers)</a> - Home servers you can register on and play with everyone else</li>
+            <li><a href="#dungeons">Dungeons(or Nodes)</a></li>
+        </ul>
+    </p>
+    <hr/>
+    <h2 id="a note going forward">A note going forward</h2>
+    <p>
+        My idea of decentralized/federated MMO involves quite the amount of trust,
+        trust between federating servers(federation will be opt in to allow greater control over gameplay),
+        and trusting clients to not lie when they go into a dungeon. 
+    </p>
+    <hr/>
+    <h2 id="hubs">Hubs</h2>
+    <p>
+        Hubs(or Home servers) are the main servers of the network, they are the main authority over your account.
+        <br>
+        Hubs have an overworld with stuff to do(or maybe not), and where you meet other players and can make parties,
+        communicate with others, trade and all the usual stuff people do in MMOs(like a dance party).
+        <br>
+        Federation between hubs is a 2 way opt in federation, which means both servers need to accept the federation for the federation to exist
+        (probably accept the federation by creating a portal somewhere in the overworld). 
+        Federated servers also needs to sync any plugins/mods/addons which create new items
+        (or anything you can transfer between servers, so a hat needs to by synced but a new boss doesnt need to).
+    </p>
+    <hr/>
+    <h2 id="dungeons">Dungeons</h2>
+    <p>
+        Dungones(or Nodes/Edges) are sub-servers, they are simply a dungeon/map for a party to explore/play in,
+        and are to be the main content of the game.
+        <br>
+        Dungeons dont federate with each other(and technically dont federate at all), but hubs can link to them and allow their
+        players to go into a dungeon and get the rewards from it(or optionally, modify the rewards to better suite the server).
+        <br>
+        Dungeons occur in private instances available only to the exploring party.
