/agree. Blizzard would make amazing movies! Let's start a Blizz-Make-A-Movie-petition!! :)
I have been asking for a Lifetime DDO membership since LOTRO launch - I do wish they would make it a reality.
And just as I was going to let my sub lapse, they bring in henchmen!!!! Damnit!!
*decisions* *decisions* which MMO can I drop for this now.... already picked up EVE again..... CoH perhaps?... cant drop the SOE station access.. too many games........ damnit!!!
...maybe the wife wont notice the CC bill.....
Basically the backend is merely a text MUD with a plush interface - even WoW is like that. The text is so that data is quickly transferred between servers and client while player sees the glory of particles and blood and gore.
If you compare the functionality of a MUD with WoW (or most MMOs) the combat system (or quest system etc) hasnt changed nor evolved. Its a an old formula that just gets a gfx and content rehaul.
And people are getting TIRED of this formula (since everyone and their cat thinks they can make a successful MMO with the me-too formula). And failures like AoC are starting to show the new trend that players are BORED with dishwatered formulas and are seeking NEW and creative ideas now.
PS. And yes, I did code MUDs once.
Entropia Universe would be your best bet - its is star-warsy and sci-fi and open ended.
Down side is.... its a virtual casino with odds stacked against you. You will lose a lot of money 99% of the time playing it - even though they claim its free to play.
