  Fantasy world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some worlds may be a parallel realm or dimension tenuously connected to Earth via mystic gates (like Narnia and the Dreamlands); a fictional ancient Earth (examples are Middle-earth, the Hyborian Age of Conan the Barbarian, Earthdawn) or future (Dying Earth, Zothique); or the world may have no reference to Earth at all.
Fantasy worlds created through a process world building are known as a constructed world.
Fairytale fantasy may ignore the normal world-building in order to present a world operating by the same logic as the fairytales from which they are derived, though other works in this subgenre develop their worlds fully.

 SF Signal: Fantasy World-Building
The post, seemingly contradictory, says that fantasy worlds should be consistent (to provide an anchor point for the reader) but not too consistent (so it's interesting).
The crucial point is that the prescientific world had rules of its own, as rigid and demanding as the rules of science, and the literature could not step outside those rules, not and tell a good story.
Fantasy is the literature of the soul, the playground of theology and myth; where breaking the rules is not usually an act of innovation, but an act of moral corruption.

 Creating the Fantasy World
Today's fantasy market is expanding at great rate, and rather than have me repeat what I think the reasons for this are, read my paper on creating the modern romance epic.
We cannot believe in fantasy or magic in our scientific world — we're not allowed to, therefore to be believable (for the reader to be able to suspend disbelief) we must set a fantasy novel in a new world (or in our past, pre-scientific world).
Readers want to be able to relate to the fantasy world, they want to be able to place themselves within it, thus is must be as much like ours as possible (that way that can almost believe that our world might be like the fantasy world).

The revolution of fantasy sports is over now - after Yahoo Sports, ESPN and Sporting News cornered their own markets - but the interest in them is still growing, a multi-billion dollar industry for millions of fans to follow real players they draft, trade, add, drop, start or bench.
And while the casing and costs have changed, the premise for playing has not: like in 1962, fantasy owners are drawn together by their love of sports and the desire to fulfill the viewing experience as completely as possible.
And even after the novelty of the fantasy world spread nationally in the early 2000s, the popularity of it has yet to diminish.

 GamingWorld X - Final Fantasy XI Review
Final Fantasy has been for its entire existence a lonely, solitary experience and bringing legions of pasty-skinned basement dwellers together not only makes for interesting gaming, but also a fascinating sociological experiment.
The sheer size of the FFXI world is utterly impressive and because of this, one never feels as though everything has been seen and done.
For Final Fantasy fanatics, those looking for a good console-based MMORPG, and hardcore gamers with a bit of extra cash to throw around, the answer is a resounding yes.

Watching a starter break his leg and with it the playoff hopes of his team, and third string players who will soon be on a plane back to NFL Europe is enough to demoralize any good football fan.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay first came out in the first big rush inspired by D+D and its spinoffs, but never was as popular in the US as other games.
The world is rich in gothic horror and high adventure, while the character development is simple so that you wont have to look up in the rule book every other minute to see if you can do or not do a certain action.
The rules footprint is a tiny fraction of d20, yet it covers all the basics of fantasy adventure in a clean system that consistently reminds the players they are in a dark and perilous world.
