the perfect online rpg

What are your ideas for the perfect online rpg? I think a game where you could do almost anything considering tear down a building with a catapult you bought from a friend who is an engineer and built it for you, and for the next 2 days the towns people begin to rebuild it and you are wanted by the towns guards. A place with a real weather system, were you could build a fence for your land around a castle, but the guy who owns a castle a ways away wants your land so he gets his friends and hired computer controlled mercinaries to try and take your land. A place were trees are destroyed but regrow. You could have buy a ship from an engineer and put cannons on it and go be a pirate if you wanted to. Post your ideas tell me what you think. Brendon

That piece of garbage you call the PS2??????? how dare you say that. Sony is ingenious, I like all systems that play games cuz I love games but the Ps2 will be running the next final fantasy so how can you call it a piece of garbage?

Making a game like that rpg would be extremely hard and would need a big team or alot of devoted people.

Oh and I really like that Idea about scripting your characters AI so you could leave your character there and when you returned his stats could have increased. Would this mean you could have two characters and put them beside eachother and creat your own team.

Hahaha!!! Yeah, but that's what __KILLS__ me. Uh, how many friggin' __DRAGONS__ did you see wandering around the upper Rhine? Or kobolds? Or 50' giants?

Now why don't the same rules apply?

*sigh* ... yeah, 12 different colors of Dragons, cause you see, Nature likes variety.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, but now tell me, what can we do to change that ? And without making it feel like political correctness (something I understand even less than racism...)
For instance, I assume Azim the great in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood was put there for correctness (I mean ...it's an american movie, right ?) But somehow, I just thought this was so nicely done and interesting that I loved it (the A in AHW stands for Azim ...) On the other hand, the duo in DieHard III was jsut so cliche-esque ... baaah

sorry for the total Offtopicness of this post, but I just couldn't leave it like that

youpla :-P

Hey, ahw, maybe we should continue this here. BTW, I think this sort of thing will __ONLY__ change when you have more variety among developers in general. When you get people from different walks of life, they''ll tend to bring different perspectives, and be interested in injecting different content. What do you think, is it the audience, or the developers, that are the factor? (Pls. reply in the other thread, that''s the lead msg.)
