The perfect MMORPG
Fatboy has started playing World of Warcraft. Says he has been playing 3 hours, and still hasn't seen the whole town. The saddest thing is, he says, that the town is only 10% of the area's map, and that area map is only a fraction from the worldwide map. So the map is huge. Like frikking huge.
The question is, why? I doubt WoW will have so many players that it'd get too crowded to play in. Also, there are like a million quests, according to my friend. This gave me an idea for the perfect MMORPG; cheap to make and easy to sell.
First of all, you can forget towns altogether. What do you need them for anyway? For houses? And what are houses for? Vendors? Forget vendors too, then. And big maps, forget them too. Actually, there's this island, where is a NPC guy, and you. You get all the quests and new stuff from this very same guy. No more running around finding the smith and alchemist and what not. The guy would be hard to find from the island, unless there is frikking big lighthouse with the NPC. Actually, the NPC guy is in the lighthouse. Right. The lighthouse is safe from monster attacks of course, so you can buy stuff from the NPC in peace. But around it, there are like million... Dogs! Dogs who level up with you! And spawn indefinetly. No more enslaving 3D artists to make new kind of monsters. So you kill these monsters, get some gold, buy new stuff from the NPC, and all that RPG stuff you have grown to love.
Of course, this is MMORPG, so the lighthouse would eventually get kind of crowded. The solution is this; each time a new player character is created, a new island for him or her is created too! So you're completely isolated from other players. You probably need some player interaction, so get this... The chat would allow you to talk and listen all the other players! You don't need to meet them in game to boast about your level. In matter of fact, your level would be after your name in the chat! Something like this;
Jake-24 Yo Bob.
Bob-14 WTF, u lvl 14 alredy?
Jake-24 roffle ya u n00b!
That's player interaction in it's finest!
