mov ax, FUN

I would start by looking at two sets of things that makes games like MMOs unique: world persistence and non-linear interactions (N/PC). The rest tend to follow in kind.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

realize that my real job isn't design but to protect the 'investments' that everyone is putting into the game(money, time, ect).

but after that it'd be a AAA mashup of wurmonline-EvE-morrowind.

Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.

The theory of evolution is as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun.

I'd start with dune IP and throw in some twitch combat and sandbox economy/crafting.

The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

Stay as far away from MMOs as possible for my first game.

I'd take over SOE and double the charges for every MMO game they have, and I would justify my actions with saying that more money helps us to improve your (my game, lol) game.

Base my graphics around OpenGL so I wasn't chained to this POS OS thats going to get phased out by Windows 7 and make every DX10 videocard obsolete.
