I am still waiting for: DUNE: REALITY JIHAD where I can be a Harkonnen Grand Inquisitor with my own Sardauker Legion, flying around Arrakis in my Ground Strafer killing Fremen swine!
As I write this my freinds are reading your post. They Love you. They all stood and cheered as I read your post. Unfortunatly its a semi-sausage fest here for the girls are all in the kitchen making jello shots.
I agree, as long as:
Without a still suit you would [ACTUALLY] fry on
the sands so hot and dry in a world
called Arrakiss
No more of this pansy carebear crap where you can walk across lava and not even singe your boxers.
Iron Maiden. The greatest band to ever grace us with their presence. That song should be Dune Onlines opening music score.
God bless Bruce Dickenson

Glad you noticed.
But I really hope someone will one day make a game where the environment is a major consideration, not just scores of randomly placed mobs to dodge and grind on.
I'd rather spend one hour preparing for a fight, including getting my gear together, tracking my target, surviving the elements, and then, after all that, engaging in an exciting battle with a single enemy, than spend that hour killing 50 of the exact same mob for some collection quest.
Imagine if something like hunting for hides was actually like hunting : Instead of spending 30 minutes spamming the same attack sequence to kill 50 bears to get enough hides to make one piece of armor, you spend those 30 minutes finding and tracking your quarry, killing him (if he doesn't kill you first), maybe tracking the blood trail to find the carcass, and then figuring out how to get the hide back to civilization without dying in the process. Then, once all is said and done, that one hide will net you a nice piece of leather armor.

I agree. In something like making armor (just the example) The hard part should be the hunting not mindlessly harvesting Banthas over and over again. Also you should be able to make lots of stuff from the same animal or sell the extra parts like the meat to cooks, or horns to wizards or in sci-fi cases scientists or something like that. I didnt so much mind that you needed mining machines to get ore in SWG but something like that should be augmented with somehow.
Anyhow, I hope the next generation of MMORPGs have the technology to make such things fun and engaging. After all, people who work at the Waffle House would not want to come home and play an MMO where making waffles was the goal of the game. You don't want an MMO to feel like work or EXACTLY like real life or what would happen in real life. Some of the tediousness should be eliminated although it might be funny if your toon suddenly had to go make #2 in the middle of combat. (For which you should get double XP for if successfully done.)
Rifts if the whole mega vrs was in it. For one reason, everyone would be happy. In rifts your choice of what to be is unlimted. The only prob would be some chars would have to have perma death. But for the time your toon was around you would be god.
World of Warcraft..... but everyone magically turned out to be 20-30 years old! =D I'd also love to see a .Hack MMO in the US!!
LOL, is WoW really that over-run with children? I have a few friends who play that told me not to even bother because of it.
Yeah pretty much.. The Alliance side is where it really shows. Sadly I have a level 70 on Alliance, hard enough for me to believe I actually stuck through with it for that long. You have to really try hard to ignore the chat.. I was at Best (worst) Buy the other day and saw a bunch of children playing Guitar hero 3, and I was astonished that they all weren't sitting at their computers, playing World of Warcraft!
Yeah, I think if I could make a game from scratch OR I was developing a game I thinkI might find the time at least a few times a week to read these posts (like this one) and at least TRY to make a game everyone would like. I know a few SAY they do but I have yet to really see that in any MMO I have played. Though I have played good ones.
After all this feedback Im gonna have to say I would do my best to develop a Dune MMORPG.

I think your right for the most part. I dont think even Juicers would HAE TO have perma death but if they did that so be it. I think if it where done somewhat like EQ2 (expansion after expansion) something fun would emerge. Though at first it would be small, I think something like RIFTS would have to build momentum.
P.S.
I know who you are and where you live. I want my RIFTS book back.

This is my dream MMORPG.
Now to learn game development and make it ...

Chrono Trigger, or Star Ocean...Maybe Suikoden
