Playing off of the comment that MMORPGs populations always decline (which is true on a long enough timeframe,) I remembered that it wasn't true of Eve so I looked at population statistics and realized there are three common patterns for population i…

There are a lot of people who will always grind because it's what they know, because they think it's efficient, and because given the choice between fun and achievement, they choose achievement. That isn't something any developer created, it's a par…

I don't know that grinding is ever going to have a solution. Whenever you set a goal for players, regardless of what that goal may be, a significant number of players are going to play to achieve that goal as quickly as possible, even to the detrime…

My hope would be that level isn't so much a factor in defeating an encounter, but would be for the encounter to do anything meaningful for the players such as yield experience.or good level appropriate items. In other words attacking anything too hi…

First, I'd like to say I found both sides of this debate interesting to read. So thanks to those who contributed. I had the same argument trying to suggest that perhaps a limited form of trivial loot code that would allow you to go back to content,…

You do realize that the devs are posting quite a bit on MMORPG.com. They read posts there and can get a broad spectrum of feedback and ideas. It's not like open forums don't exist or the devs are ignoring them.

The OP advice is good sound advice for any game targeting the main stream or aiming to be the next big thing. Not that the developers should listen to the forums, but if your goal is to attract everyone then trying to create the largest buzz possibl…

Roin said: A game that list features, and fun isn't one of them? Because listing "fun" as a feature ensures it will be fun right? I mean fun is universal, we all think the same things are fun, so it's not like an empty promise or anythi…

Dullahan said: First of all, the amount of money it takes to make an MMO is considerably less than what has been spent in recent years. EQ for instance was made with only a few million. Agreed. The whole point of the technology is to allow more…

My opinion, of course, is exactly opposite. I liked the EQ system better because classes were more specialized, which led to a stronger interdependence between classes and players. Crit chains, sure, but I wouldn't call that an aspect of class des…
