I cried in the inside a couple of hours ago.. Deep tears of sorrow.. *cut cut*.. Cancled my AoC account due to it not grabbing me at all in the LEAST amount.. The pain came from activating my WoW account because truth to tell that's the only MMORPG I enjoy ATM...
Which I am sure you guys are asking yourself what the hell does that have to do with the title of the post? Well I was just going over my head all of the cool features I would want in an MMORPG while I was smoken joint.. Would love for anyone to add or comment on anything..
Ok in order of what I would love in the game..
1).PKing in ALL locations and have a guard type system in towns like the old Ultima Online where if you attacked someone then your flag came up being a criminal and anyone at any time can call guards which would then kill you in about 2-3 blows, make them super fast and that would be awsome..
2). Lootable corpse on EVERYTHING anywhere, something or someone dies then everything they currently have on their persons are open loot.. In towns looting would cause you to become criminal therefor getting the wrath of the guards..
3.) Skill based, just like UO (Not typing Ultima Online anymore..) I'd say with the mass amounts of skills I would like in the game I would want a max attainable skill points to be 900 - 100 being mac (Grand Mastery). Stats ofcourse only allowable to 250..
4.) Combat/spellcasting shouldn't be limited to the ground or even just mounts but flying mounts as well.. Some penalty should be made for the spell of the mounts and other good things like speed of melee and spell casting..
5.) Names should be able to be spaced with a minimum of three letters then space is available.
6.) No instancing..
7.) Different races but ofcourse no classes, some races getting better stats then others by 5-15 points some races can't get the max stats or skills because of their lack of whatever.. A huge ogre would be a great monster tank but would be dumb as rocks.. Noone says that ogre can't have 80 magery or whatever but he sure as hell isn't bright enough for anything more than that..
8.) Arena's with sets of weapons and armors for winning.. 1v1,2v2,3v3,5v5,10v10.. WoW FTW..
Don't care if anyone likes or dislikes my ideas or the ideas I loved from other games, I will add more later, hopefully by that time someone would have posted be it flame or adding..

I agree with just about everything you said
There's a couple things that aren't quite clear to me...
What do you mean on #5 ? Just that the words of the name should be farther apart?
What do you have pictured for "flying mounts" on #4? Dragons? Pegasi? You'd probably need it be extremely hard to get a flying mount... if everyone has one it would significantly change the gameplay, unless that's what you want
The name thing would go something like "Sir William Macy" or "Bow before Death" I'm thinking 20 being the most spaces included..
With the flying mounts they should be EXTREMELY hard to get and make falls happen with drastic damage same with horses and such.. Falling off a horse isn't that bad but falling off of a dragon would cause problems like death..
hmm... probably a good idea, a lot of people might end up with better names that way...
Your ideas for the flying mounts sound original, imagine an mid-air battle on a dragon / roc / pegasus / griffin / ect.
I prefer sci-fi & historical over fantasy though, fantasy is too overdone, it still has a lot of untapped potential but unfortunately all fantasy MMO's are clones of each other... also even if there was an original one done by indies, no one will ever find it in the ocean of clones
In shortm you just want darkfall huh?
But yeah, mages + moving = not that good if they aren't a battle mage.
Basic rules y'know Takes concentration to cast a spell.
I'd like to add player housing UO style, with a key and such. Would kick ass >>
The speed of the mole and the power of steel is my weapon
I loved the decaying houses though.. Had alot of fun waiting for houses to decay.. Running around looking to PK people I would still click the house signs and see the condition on the and hope it read, "This is house is ready to collapse.." That was awesome.
