• The reason why the more "original" MMOs don't do too well compared to most "WoW clones" is because they're developed on a tighter budget, and in some cases they bite off more than they can chew, making the game unfinished on release. I've never seen…

  in I am right because what you like would not be PROFITABLE!!!!!!!!!! Comment by Scarf_Ace May 2011
• 1. It's not "my idea" of an RPG.  It's what RPGs have been through the entire history of videogame RPGs. If we want to take a looser "game where you play a role" definition, then suddenly the word loses any real meaning and becomes useless (because …

• Originally posted by Axehilt The words in RPG don't imply stat progression -- but the entire history of videogame RPGs does.  Name a videogame RPG without character progression.  You can't.  It doesn't exist (except way back in Ultima 3 where som…

• Originally posted by Axehilt 1. Clearly we're not talking about an MMORPG if you're suggesting the removal of progression.  Which is fine as long as you're not suggesting a game that will devolve into bland zerg PVP (in other words a crafting-centri…

  in Best Players in Warband CRPG [Vol 1] *Ripper X Commentary* Comment by Scarf_Ace March 2011
• I'm building this post up on a (slightly misplaced) post I made in an other thread. The whole idea is based around a full loot, full PvP sandbox game.   I'm seeing quite a few posts where people want more complexity. Lots and lots of features. I…

  in SO what are some ideas to evolve sandboxes Comment by Scarf_Ace February 2011
• There's a lot of elements that I think are "obsolete" today, that many sandbox mmos still have in them. The biggest one I think is grinding and levelling. Our internet connections are a lot faster these days. It's now possible to have good balanced …
