OT - Spore

Okay, from what I've heard, the game isn't multiplayer. You won't be able to directly affect anyone else. Your creatures and stuff is sent to an online server, where it is then downloaded and added to each person's own private sandbox. New building styles/creatures are uploaded on a daily basis or so.

So basically, it's not multiplayer. It just uses other people's content to fill in so that your computer doesn't have to do all of the work.
