If You Could Change One Thing About Your Favorite MMO, What Would It Be? | MMORPG.com
If you could play game director for your favorite MMO, whether it be live or sunset at this point, what would you change and why?
Comments
Lineage 2 less reliance on super amounts of money at higher levels. I just couldn't keep up.
Lord of the Rings Oline too many things need to change but I would say completely change the aesthetics of gear and the avatars, they look ridiculous.

I would rather start making better quality games period and not just mmos.
A small list of things
realistic worlds and not instances
eco systems
really well scripted AI
Deep character designs and with less emphasis on visual sliders but if they get the customization done right then sure sliders are icing on the cake.
Biomes/seasons and get rid of all that cash shop seasons pass crap.
Remove cash shops completely,if your game is not good enough to buy then it is not good enough,f2p does not change that.
get rid of silliness crap like flying in the air,walking on water,jumping 20 feet in the air,somersaults etc etc.
Deep combat and creature systems
MMO aspects such as grouping,reliant on other players,SEPARATE economies.
VERY deep crafting that removes boss drop nonsense from the 80's but instead perhaps various methods to unlock making better versions of boss drops.
Did i mention no cash shops?
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Marvel Heroes - I would bring it back.
You people don't even respond to ANY of your posts, so why ask a question?

*This applies to any actual mMO game you are playing.
Because magic doesn't exist.
So your Final Fantasy IX would not be possible anymore.
Also, that means that all sci-fi games require players to wear suitable "suits" on the surface because the majority of planets that could even be walked on would not be survivable.
You would probably also have to keep it to within the same solar system as any travel outside of that would be impossible.
While it has been shown that very small particles can travel through a wormhole, I believe anything larger would require an inordinate amount of energy.
because perfectly realistic always = fun. Still, it's your list and you're entitled to it. I'm just not convinced you know what you're actually asking for.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Isn't that what pantheon is aiming for? An ipdated Everquest?

SWROR with better class party dynamics and group content. If the group play in SWTOR was greatly improved it would be an excellent MMO. Right now it is basically single player online with hot garbage group play.

It is still here and better than ever with the new Bespin expansion.
Player run economy, all items crafted by the the players, still a fully player driven world being operated by gamers, not a selfish greedy corp.

SWG:L what's to complain about? Nothing.
WoW retail - I love the raiding, it's the hardest content in any mmorpg today, i love it as it's much like EQ2 was in 2004-2008. I would love to have more organic questing much like EQ2 did back in the golden years of mmorpg's, the questing is there but questing more along the lines of epic heritage questing, that would literally be the cherry on top.
Let's party like it is 1863!
I would make jumping useful in SWG. They were time-constrained when they were developing the game so they only had the time to make movement on a 2D plane that's why you can't jump over anything and overall movement in the game feels like a real jank.
Overall I would make movement better and more responsive in that regard.
Combat abilities and interacting with UI and NPCs more responsive and fluent.
And finally - UI scaling and overall make the UI look better. I hate how the current UI is so tiny and yet the borders are blurry, the font is so tiny and it seems like it was planned to only look good on a CRT monitor with a resolution of either 800x600 or 1024x768 (at best) and on anything beyond that it looks like ass.
Planet maps look so bad and hard to use, so you have to use the UI mod for SWGL that changes the maps to the satellite layout so you can actually see what's up.
And lastly - I would change how barren planets look - there is so much empty space on every planet that it might as well be randomly generated like in TES 2 Daggerfall, it won't even make a difference. I'd put more NPCs, quests, more buildings, objects and things a player can interact with.
SWG galaxies is great, but to say it has no problems ... that's just lunacy.
