Hurlshort Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'd say I'm 2, but that might be arrogance talking. Seriously though, I've had a few decent RP experiences in MMO's, but they are few and far between. I do enjoy the social interaction, though, and I've had some great friendships over the years in various MMO's. While the friendships are rarely permanent, as real life takes precedence, they are still looked upon fondly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I got a free 14day trial and some dodgy geezers at school made me try it. Its very pretty and its fun to make characters, in fact, it more fun to make characters than play. No matter which MMO it is, they still fail on the regular key issues. This is the hypothesis of Kaftan: You cant have a story where the protagonists outnumber every villain and supporting act by 100:1 You cant change a world that has to appear the same to a million players Without a story or a world they can change, the player is stuck with performing trivial tasks that have no effect on the world around them. Since performing trivial tasks and being unable to actually accomplish anything is boring, MMO's are boring* ) *except to MMO fans <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the political world can change (and does, in games like Guild Wars) a lot.

Kaftan Barlast Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 We tried to team up while playing at school today but we had problems in that our characters were of very different levels, so we would encounter enemies we couldt beat because we had a lvl9 in our team, and our level2 wouldnt get any XP from the encounters we did survive. There is supposed to be some kind of system in the game that fixes this but we didnt find how to use it.

It makes you one level lower than him just without the powers. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Lucius Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 It's called something else in CoV I think, sidekick doesn't ring any bells to me, it's something more sinister is it not? DENMARK!

Cyric Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm kinda new on here but i've been following this board for some time now. I think it would be better to have a lobby where players could meet everyone on the server and then completely separate copies of the game world for each group to play around in, undisturbed. I understand some MMO's like D&DO is already trying this approach. Of course youd also need some sort of "big hostile place" where the PvPers could get their kicks... possibly in the form of classic FPS clan matches where one group sets a date to battle another(which is present in CoV's stronghold system) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Guild wars and its addon " Factions" already do this to a greater or lesser degree.
