I as well wouldnt like a blank world. I like the fact that there are many different cultures. It brings added life to the game. =) also brings up risks of one having to be careful in a new region until one figured out the culture there which helps people get into the game. :) And i am trying to use my imagination. And mythical ideas would tend to be more interesting. for example like yorkaturr said its much more interesting to have foxes waving there tails on fields of snow. Then to have it simply as solar wind.
