How many servers are there for the Spore game? just one or many like World of Warcraft?

[Peter Cohen]

There isn't a "server," per se -- this is not a massively multiplayer online game. Instead, it's a massively multiplayer single player game. You connect to Spore.com -- the central Web site for trading creature designs and communication with other users. Users can trade creature designs, which you can then interact with in your own Spore universe on your own computer. But this isn't multiplayer gaming -- instead, the other players' creatures exist within your own Spore game as procedural code. You can also view statistics on how your creatures are doing in other players' games, sort of an "alternate universe" style scenario.
