Notes | edit... |
Though Seth Robinson never hosted a TradeWars game (it was never available for Commodore systems), he was an avid player, and considered TradeWars 2002 his favorite BBS door game. Though many of the similarities between TradeWars and TEOS are superficial, Seth has stated that TradeWars 2002 was the primary inspiration for TEOS. TEOS stands out among early TradeWars-like games for its unique plot, detailed environments, and support for LORD-like IGMs (3rd party add-ons). It was Seth's second major success following LORD.
[edit] Inspired by TradeWars
According to Robinson, the following elements were inspired by TradeWars

- The "good" and "evil" factions were inspired by the TradeWars FedPolice (Alliance) and Mafia (Maraken)
- The Dark Ship Tavern was inspired by the Lost Trader's Tavern
- The Man with Scar was inspired by The Grimy Trader
- The Schooler Library was inspired by the StarDock library (Librum Universitatus)
