OOC: I don't play Earth 1, 2, 3, pi, i, XXVI, googleplex, et cetera, but I had an idea. What about, instead of just a time or duplicate lands, there was an overall story, a uniting thread. I call my idea: Earth: After the Thunder.
PREMISE: Imagine waking up tomorrow, and finding a sign at the gas station, one that read, "No Gas Here", scrawled in red paint. Now imagine this all over the country, the world. Imagine the sudden failure of modern society, the slamming of the gears as all petroleum just "ran out". Imagine: no gas, no heating oil, no plastic or rubber. All civilization coming to a crashing halt as the fights for limitted resources raged.
Now make this bigger. Imagine if ores ran low, and all fossil fuels. Imagine the world that follows this, and that follows the wars from this Crash.
The goal here is not find a way around it, to develope miracle fuels or materials. No, this would be a world where modern technologies are curiosities of "Once Before", a world where the few remaining civilizations battle for resources, an life is cheaper than material. Imagine Earth: After the Thunder.
So? What do you think? This is just an idea so far.
