Hi, I'm new to the forums here, obviously ^^. But, I have been playing MMO's for a long time now. I have seen all kinds of things, from games that would make you laugh
, to games that would down right make you cry 
. However, I have enjoyed this experience. It has taught me, that I used to, and used to is the key word here, like MMORPG's. Now, i'm not saying I don't anymore, no no, not at all. I'm saying, I don't like the style of them anymore. Sure, Point and click was fun, pvp was cool, slaying newbs who just trying to have fun, was indeed fun. Killing your unsuspecting friends, and getting kicked out of the guild and being hunted down and killed over and over again was a blast. But it all seems kinda dry. Point and click seems so...basic. And the WASD function they have added to most newer mmo's is a sad attemp to make it feel...fun. When really, we all get into the grind, and at some point, we realize, that playing street fighter with our friends on the super nintendo was fun, playing area 51 in the arcade with the asian kid you didn't know, was fun. But this...this isnt fun. Now, I in no way mean to say everyone feels that way. I'm sure plenty of you love spending mindless hours gaining level after level, doing quest after quest, to get..new gear, so you can get more levels, and do more quests, for more money and gear, and when you get to the top, with the best of the best, and you've dont it all, to move on to the next game. However me, i'm different. I want something more in an mmo (which is probably why i'm in college to become a graphics animator, I may not be able to by myself, but atleast I can start somewhere), I want, action, fast paced, in your face, action. Sure, theres many games that imitate it, like fable for instance (good game, not quite mmo quality though). I haven't seen one fun, mmorpg, with the exception of space cowboy, but I wont count that, on acount that its space ships, and the game is kind of small
. So, maybe someone can shine some light, or perhaps just bring a new opinion to the table, i'm open to all! Also, please, if you know of any OPEN BETA MMOS, fitting an action type, or soon to be beta, please post it in here.

I watch webzen, huxley looks more like an fps than an MMO though doesnt it? I'm thinking more rpg, not OBLIVION style or anything, just more action based.
Yes, it is an FPS, but an FPSMMORPG to what I understand, go to the following site:

And, watch the "Huxley Live Demo"...it explains a lot -- sort of.

And as for things NOT to do in making a game, well, you really shouldnt focus on, what not to do, what your going to do, thats different. Instead of using whats already out there, I think developers need to be focusing on what they can do, that no one else has. Or in NCsofts case, do something they haven't already done. I think there's many lines not to cross, but then again, theres many lines people tell you not to cross, that would probably be interesting if you did.
Can you elaborate more on your post, you caught my interest.
