A complete blank slate of wilderness where any person could carve out a kingdom whose borders are only limited by what they can stop the other players from taking. <br /><br />The one caution I would put is that this can't be the WHOLE game because then you run into the Darkfall problem where it's great to be able to take all of someone's stuff in five seconds if you're the person who is taking it but awful if you're the one being robbed. It leads to more unsubs than loyalties as when you win and take everything that's normal and it was a perfectly fair fight but when you lose that's total (censored)! <br /><br />Oh, and Mortal Online tried to do this but failed so totally in the implementation I'm not sure it's even worth a mention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-86461009918460905852011-10-12T23:56:29.942+01:002011-10-12T23:56:29.942+01:00Grim - Yeah I often hear about how good Shadowbane...Grim - Yeah I often hear about how good Shadowbane was. I don't really remember why I didn't play it tbh. Wish I had before it closed down.<br /><br />Epikk - A DAoC & UO hybrid is my ultimate game. Though I'd glady settle for DAoC2.. Alas Mythic won't be making that anytime soon. I imagine if WoH does well they'll drop the idea of developing proper MMOs entirely tbh.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-43318607457674266612011-10-12T23:49:23.531+01:002011-10-12T23:49:23.531+01:00Gaar - I've been kinda half watching Prime for...Gaar - I've been kinda half watching Prime for a while. The game sounds interesting, but I have a huge issue with the way it looks. The whole Ben10 kiddie gfx really turn me off, I think it looks proper bloody horrible. Which is a problem because I'm sorta half and half with atmosphere and gameplay, if I don't like the way it is themed then it grates on me and I don't get attached.<br /><br />As for the ideals, yeah totally, though I would just like to see a game with a triple A budget go for the proper dynamic world bit again. I wouldnt expect it to be perfect, but at least it would have a crack at it and look nice and have a UI not designed by a crackhead. Rather than it always being the smaller games, that have so many basic issues..<br /><br />Aeo - Doh! I completely forgot about Dawntide, I had it bookmarked on my old PC as one to watch out for. I'll look into that.<br /><br />fN8Rd - I did like stomping on BWs :P They were always my priority target, the little buggers :D I might have a look at Atlantica, that sounds intriguing, thought Korean games have a habit of annoying me. A mixture of the grinding and big eyed/eared FF style kiddy horribleness :DBootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-61138327178080920922011-10-12T23:06:49.120+01:002011-10-12T23:06:49.120+01:00The initial information I read about Prime makes i...The initial information I read about Prime makes it look to have all three of the things you want, albeit in a sci-fi setting. Guess that makes it a put-up-or-shut-up test: either you care more about those things than the setting or you don't.<br /><br />Ultimately, most people have an ideal in their head that no game will ever truly live up to. I know I do. Hence why I try to accept the good with the bad until the good gets patched out and I'm left with only the bad. Then I leave. :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-52426791533907976452011-10-12T21:14:22.734+01:002011-10-12T21:14:22.734+01:00Have a look at Dawntide, Boots, an open world fant...Have a look at Dawntide, Boots, an open world fantasy sandbo mmo.

Atlantica is a korean-spawned tactics MMO (main+[1..8] pets vs. [1-9] mob pve or - and thats the most fun part imo - main+[4-8] vs. main+[4-8] pvp).<br /><br />Atlantica doesn't have any trash-vendors at all, but everything you obtain by killing mobs somehow ends up in the auction house. and - thats the difference to most any other mmo i know - this stuff actually gets sold.<br /><br />If you get into crafting you will find out why: _everything_ in atlantica is a crafting resource one way or the other.<br /><br />In the higher levels there also is some kind of guild-based nation system (guilds can own one of the game's pre-existing cities), but i am too low level to be able to say what impact this makes.<br />Anyway: I read your blog because of WAR*, so maybe we share some of our taste.<br /><br />*Zarubert(BW) - you sure stomped me more than once :), but severe altitis on my side means you probably also stomped half a dozen of my lower level alts :D<br />if you get into crafting you will find out why: _everything_ in atlantica is a crafting resource one way or the other.fN8Rdhttp://www.goaned.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-2583988639031091772011-10-12T18:55:21.494+01:002011-10-12T18:55:21.494+01:00At first I was gonna say "old-school UO, befo...At first I was gonna say "old-school UO, before all the new crap" but then I noticed you covered that.<br /><br />Then I was gonna say "SMP Minecraft, but not really Massive" and yet again you covered it.<br /><br />I'm still waiting for a fantasy-type MMO with those parameters tbh. <br />taking the risk of repeating myself, I'd be happy with something like DAOC with a dash of UO's crafting engine and resource gathering system and a modern-day-MMO UIEpikkhttp://teaforks.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-69829756333069879582011-10-12T15:40:07.790+01:002011-10-12T15:40:07.790+01:00You've described a desire for Shadowbane sir.
...You've described a desire for Shadowbane sir.<br /><br />I think Mount and Blade would make for an exciting world to play in as an MMO as well. Take away the overworld map and make it all open-field. Could be pretty crazy. Not to mention the mounted combat...Grimnirhttp://grimnir.mmofansites.comnoreply@blogger.com
