EricR Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Other than sci fi games (which appear to be perfected in the upcoming BC titles), I enjoy high fantasy settings. I thought I liked Everquest, until I looked up from my computer after camping a rare spawn (Minotaur Hero) for hours and realized I wasn't really having any fun. I switched to Dark Age of Camelot, which is faster paced, but other than the PvP aspect, the world, like EQ with its endless respawning, reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day." Nothing ever really changes. What these worlds lack are nations/castes, each with their own agenda, and with the ability to attack their neighbors and alter the player's environment. I would love to see a DS Simulation tackle this genre. Cities would be like starbases/stations, sending out patrols and armies (if they are aggressive). Over time, alliances (between NPCs, players or both) would form and break, wars be fought, cities captured, and the world would constantly be evolving. I know that newer games, like Shadowbane will attempt this, but I don't think they would come close to the kind of dynamic world that DS could create. What do you think? - Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenada Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Actually, there are quite a few mmorpgs coming that revolve around nations so to speak. Realms of Torment is one that im interested in. That have a perma death system that their implementing and a breeding system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Gawaine. I do think though that a DS high fantasy MMORPG based on the BCO technology would do well. - Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
