Terraforming and world effects

Hello,

I was just wondering if there are any games out there that have implimented Terraforming (sculpting, digging the earth of the game with lasting effects) appart from Wurm Online. 

I was also wondering if there were long lasting effects such as cutting trees down that stay down for a while or digging a mine and so on and so on... ( yes pretty much like Wurm aswell).

I heard Darkfall has some features like these but was unable to find information about terraforming or complete customisation of "owned" land or buildings.

 

Thanks =]

    No company is going to take that risk. It is too "advanced" and may be too hard of a concept for the average gamer to grasp.

    Hard to believe no gaming company wants to take a "Risk" of doing something a bit more different then mainstream games when most of the newer games are complete trash or clones..

     

    ah well, i'll just make my own game :p

    You might have to into todays MMOs thats a radical mechanic.

    I know I would enjoy such a feature but todays MMO players wouldnt be into it and today MMOs need to have mass appeal or they quickly fall into niche.

    Wurm Online and Second Life allow it.

    I would definatly think that a game such as Darkfall however would be the perfect game for an implemented skill such as terraforming.

    One day I know that terraforming will be a part of MMO's since there will be virtually nothing left to be the "highlight" of a new game. Player customisation and the world surrounding the players being customised will definetly be key points in the future for a succesful game. ( Or..... it'l just stay mainstream.. T.T)

    I'd be surprised of darkfall had terraforming.   Allowing terraform would basically mean a dynamic graphics optimizer instead of a static one,  which isn't something a company that prides itself on being FPS efficent would have.

     

    Wurmonline - if you still want a game attached to world control

    Second life- if world control is all you want

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Yah, I understand how much terraformaing would affect the FPS of a person.. I guess I'm just a dreamer :D

     

    Now excuse me, I'm gunna go sleep for a decade or two.. wake me up when MMO's evolve into something revolutionary...
