The fundamental problem with non consentual pvp is that it only favors the aggressor(s).
Ignoring for a moment the very few who truly like the constant danger, also when they have their activity disrupted.
When a player logs in to a mmo they take t…
It is all about whether you opted in. You opt in to the paintball match, knowing you may get a few sore spots but that is ok because it was all fair competition. However if the rule allowed anyone to empty a round on you while you were buying grocer…

Obviously both changes the fundamental game design of the game by changing the developers focus on how to make money from the game. But I wouldn't go as f…

A skill based system where your skill choises define the role(s) you can take. Not really a spec system like WoW but a dynamic and situational role choice, and also mostly unrestricted - Which means you are not limited to x amount of skill points…

I wish EQ1 would modernize all their old assets with brand new ones and overall modernize the oldest parts of the game so I could play it.
I've seen some footage of new things that look nicer than what Vanilla WoW in 2…
You would think it would be a great way to add an alternative to a sub game. Meaning a sub game could offer a sub for unlimited time, and also the alternative pay for blocks of game time.
Why is everyone not doing this?
Maybe they found out that it…
On an overall note. The audience that enjoy actual mmorpgs is much more limited than believed. WoW artificially inflated the mmo player nmbers, but most of those didn't come to WoW because it was a mmorpg; they came because it was the most successfu…
Seem so obvious that it would never work putting someone without game knowledge in charge.
I mean someone with experience in gaming could have messed up just as bad, because after some years in management roles people tend to loose touch; but at l…
How grand it is of Micro$oft to honor article 23.4 of "the universal declaration of human rights" that states:
"Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests."
A few years ago, theybreakgames changed most of the eq1:beastlord's pet proc buffs to have a stun component. The problem with that is that stuns are extremely high aggro and the pet will steal aggro from the tank (and die plus annoy the hell out of …

Third, playing something within a metaverse won't change your gameplay experience one bit. Its not supposed to. A metaverse is simply a way of connecting a whole bunch of separate experiences …
I have much respect for Raph Koster.
But all this highly abstract talk about metaverse tells me nething useful.
In all honesty I am pretty sure I don't like any form of metaverse, at least I can not see a scenario where it is a positive directio…
On mmorpg you get banned (because someone takes offense or disagree).
On mop you get moderated.(for disagreeing or having non mainstream opinions), or you get pummeled by the toxic and narrow minded who make their own meaning out of anything you typ…
VR might be better suited for those single player rpgs, with simple combat that is about manual timing of actions (block, duck, swing sword); more than the more tactical or co-op that should be in mmorpgs.
Of course, mmos are becomming those simple …
I kinda want a Devillian emu.
For a mod, I would like gw2 with a completely remade role based combat system, obviously a complete class redesign to accompagny that, removal of all story driven content and replaced by open ended, no shop or gear…
