The first step in designing a "social" game or MMO is to give players a reason to play together. In Cities XL's online mode, dubbed "The Planet Offer," developer and publisher Monte Cristo is offering a variety of incentives to players. At its most basic, Cities XL encourages players to share resources. By sharing resources, a player who needs some help getting rid of his city’s waste, can trade his excess resource of another type, say – electricity, for some garbage hauling provided by the other player. This ensures a keen balance of resources within the game, and creates a more realistic value for resources than just having the A.I. automatically price resources. This also allows players to specialize if they like – if a player wants to focus on generating one resource, they can, so long as their resource is valuable enough to garner them enough trades with other players to earn them the other resources they need.
