• If I had my legs broken every time I lost a match in Rugby, would I play? Fuck no. Would I risk that if perhaps, our team could win 10 million dollars? Its possible, and the beauty of a virtual game is there isn't really much at stake. At the end of…

• What exactly Gameplay is, is quite ambiguous. I consider gameplay to be the core mechanics you deal with everyday, which is most games: how the fighting works, and also in RPGs: how the progression works, etc, and how all these create combine to cre…

• Originally posted by SenorHappy   I don't think it's quite as straightforward as you make it out to be.  Let's take, for instance, an actual military battle following the U.S. Army chain of command.  All of these will have different motivations a…

•  The question isn't possibility, its practicality. Why have a world that big, when players will simply congregate to the instances and quest areas. Large worlds in that scale only have a place in sandbox games, where real estate is a top resource.

•  This thread  is akin to "Why do people think Chocolate Icecream tastes good?", and then going on about their personal opinions and why Vanilla is the best flavor.   So called "content" usually serves to keep players distracted from an otherwise…

• Originally posted by pencilrick If lore has no tangible connection with gameplay, then lore IS meaningless.  Heck, might as well make up a story that 500 years ago, the world was a modern metropolis, then it all blew up and now we have a crude me…

  in I find it hard that "most" players care about the MMO lore Comment by Boton November 2009
