Battletech and SJ's Car Wars world are two PnP systems I would love to see realised in full blown sandbox glory.
I would too! I will take this for now though. Maybe if Mechwarrior Online gets enough support, someone will come out with a full…

I know that many people saw Battletech as basically a war game -- pure strategy based on number crunching. But when we played, it was a roleplaying game. We started as infantry (squ…

Someone earlier mentioned the consumer is to blame. I'd agree, but probably not for the reasons they intended (or maybe so, they didn't elaborate). The fact of the matter is that money corrupts people, and wh…

I disagree about the whole death penalty thing. You're basically talking about death penalties from PvP, and things like that just encourage gank squads. I'd rather not be forced to group up with a bunch kids or jerk…

I just bought a brand new 20 gauge shotgun I was going to do some duck hunting with soon. When Spare (no Idea who this is but Garret does) decides to put a round or two into SWG(NGE) I want in on that action. Closu…

Sandbox ain't free whack-a-mole... It's a world, where you can be or do anything, and the world doesnt revolve around combat, bu…

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with this post. What UO had to me was in deed freedom and the reason I played. Instead of playing a story written by the devs I played a story of my own creation. I logge…
This article brought back many memories. Writing a history for a new character with it including the Black Ogre event that happen between Trinsic and Skara. Working with Friends trying to Clear the undead out of Trinsic, Spending 13 hours of chop…

I don't know about the tech on browser based games, so a few questions.
It seems to me that you should be able to reach single player quality of art with browser based. Is that possible?
I'd also like to know if th…

What you are suggestion has some merit, and I wouldn't have any problems with tangible incentives. But, it would have to be with one condition.
That the incentives(whatever they may be) be sponsered anonymously.

I have done fishing in Ultima Online, SWG and WOW (wish war had it) and always enjoyed it, even if it did not mean anything.
UO and WOW fishing did mean something and the fish and or items brought up could be sold easily
I would love to see a skill based MMORPG like starwars SWG pre CU. So there is not that boring level grind that we see in most games. A game where Crafing is a Rich as SWG per CU was, not dumb down so that you did not have to work at making a pro…
In the last 12 years of playing MMORPG'S I have only played 4 games.
1) SWG pre cu (I loved the crafting system and actually met the guy who created i at a EA focus group. t gave him a hug)
2) Warhammer Online (The pvp/rvr is fun and this i…

Why is this form of group combat an automatic feature of practically every MMO, especially fantasy MMOs.
There are so many other alternatives. I have ideas. Let's hear yours first.
I remember when the arcade…
