Playing for Fun: P4F. A very interesting concept. How many MMO players are today playing for fun? For most players MMOs are more a job then fun. But why do they work so hard in MMOs? The answer is very simple: to be the Best or the First. Today …
I'm CONFUSED, really CONFUSED.
We are talking about MMORPG and FPS. I don't get the meaning of what we are talking about.
a) Lets define that FPS is First Person Shooter. You can have a MMORPG where you don't fight with swords and spells…

Anything that's shut down or otherwise fails to bring any profit at all, most people here will disagree, but t…
It's like playing poker.
A lot of people play poker for small money. If they they loose they don't loose a lot. They play because of the game but mostly because they want to spend an evening with their friends.
Then you have hardcore players…

I don't agree with that.
I would for example make a WOW server with only the following differences from an ordinary PVE server:
1. no battlegrounds
2. all dungeons are not i…

Full Loot can only exist in a game where items are common (or cheap). in such a game, gear does not determine the outcome of a fight...skills do. It's a different appraoch to modern MMORPGs, that use gear as a ca…
A completely different viewpoint to Full Loot PVP:
A basic game situation: I'm at point A and the treasure is at point B. What makes it interesting for me to play? Not the treasure by itself, but getting to the treasure. More difficult it is t…

Full Loot PVP is like a scary movie - you are scared most of the time. It's a special feeling and people like t…

A very good point. In a sandbox MMO you have to find out by yourself how to earn money. In a theme-park MMO your income is deli…
A sandbox MMO can not have quests. Quests defeat the whole purpose of a sandbox MMO. If a MMO has quests it is a theme-park MMO. It can have rich features or sandbox elements but basically it's still a theme-park MMO.
It would be interesting to have a 100% sandbox MMO with real life currencies ($, € ...). You would buy and sell items, pay players for services. There could be in game exchange of these currencies - some regions would prefer to trade in $, some …
I play games on PC and on console systems. For me a controller is much better then a keyboard/mouse. Why?
1. You move your character with a joystick. That is much easier then WASD or mouse and you have much better control over your character.
