I''m a programmer by trade. I play games on a PC, got rid of my PS3 in favour of an XBOX because Sony are twats, will sell my Wii because it gave me RSI.

Probably they don't, but then some games don't offer any alternative. I…

Oh, in that case, I'm pretty sure your game doesn't exsist. Thanks for being a whiney little brat though.
I looked at darkfall some time back. It wasn't what I was expecting. Yes, it's got some elements, but not i…

Darkfall is closest to what it seems you are looking for.
It seems that there are people going around the forums today saying "Darkfall this", "Darkfall that". Seriously, it has been mentioned in every single thre…
I like to see the world. This is something I enjoy. When I first stood on a hill overlooking RubiKa in anarcy online and enjoyed a sunrise (and then got slaughtered from the high level mobs I had to run through) I was doing what I enjoy. When I rode…

Maple Story is a pretty successful MMO that I wouldn't classify as a "WoW Clone."
surprisingly fun too. but it sounds like many of our thread co-contributers wouldn't consider a side scroller a game at all.
1. Every MMO has quests at the start that suck. EVERY SINGLE ONE. There has never been a MMO in the history of the human race that did not start off with a GO DO SOMETHING BORING FOR A WHILE quest right at the start. If you can think of one then yo…
permadeath: you could hack npc's to peices and they might hack you up a bit but not chop your head off. Maybe chopping ones head off is something you only can do in certain arenas, as if the quickening had become a blood sport. Sure, one of the peo…

I would ONLY play this game if there were permadeath, and no alts allowed.
Yep. A struggle to survive. May the best immortal win and all that. Of course all the high lvl pc's would camp on the noob areas and just sl…

oh no, i like pretty graphics, whether they be far cry esque, wow-esque (wow needs to try a cartoon shader just to really sock it home), but after character creation i ***NEVER*** look at the character again. Did you play Oblivion? You spend half a…
Novelty items on my character, like clothes, wings, whatever. Bleh, how stupid is that? Has turned me off many a MMOG since you get a bunch of people who play ONLY to advance their boob size or get the freakiest looking combination of items.

I was quite interested at their development editor video on their site, and you got to see it in action first hand (jealous). I was hoping they would reveal more about it, since us developers out here tend to pay attention to the lessons learned by …

This is good. I really want an indie game to succeed. I want people to learn that you do not have to be Blizzard or have their subscription numbers to be a profitable venture. But, what I want to ask you, personally,…
well that's true and the text becomes harder to read the more there is on a line, that's well documented. There's also this amazing thing in new css called columns. About $5 to implement for a half competent designer. You might have seen them in ol…

Good to hear that at least employees, both past and present, will actually get paid.

brilliant. rather than coming up with ideas (since everybody on this entire site has those) you could tell us you have just finished building a survival MMO. I mean you have right, because I would love to play it right now. In fact, I think I might…
