1. How will Blue Mars work? Will there be user-created content, user-created terrain, in-world economy?
JS: Absolutely. There will be two types of account: end-user accounts, and developer-accounts. For end-users the client will be free, and there will be no fees for entering Blue Mars, however, some cities or areas may be subscription-only areas.
For developers, the Software Development Kit (SDK) will be free, and content will be generated outside of Blue Mars, then uploaded into it, rather than creating within Blue Mars.

Does this mean there is no room for small time or part time creators?
In Second Life anyone withe urge to create can make as much or little as they want.
This looks like the only people who will be able to make content will have to have "developer accounts"
Are we looking at a world geared towards the Aimee Weber class of creator?
This would be a deal breaker for me. I like making my own stuff and working at my leisure. Selling when it suits me.
