Write one theme down for a Western Themed MMO, and why you would want to see it.
My Feature
Open/Seemless world!
Simply put a Western, or old West themed MMO could only do good as a sandbox game, and having an open, seemless world is the only way to go.
Tons of open spaces allowing you to travel with your horde or carage all over the place. Being able to set up ambushes out in the middle of now where, when a wealthy traveler comes by. All of this could only work if you had a world with no bondries, no invisible walls.

Gah, I can't just write one!
- Open PvP Come on, there has to be those bad a$$es that roll into town and cause trouble (or just the wannabes
- Player Cities A must! Players should be able to setup their own towns with saloons and the whole nine yards!
These two are just a must. I couldn't only go with one! |

I'm legitimately curious as to what combat features players feel would be proper for a western MMO. Also, what would the PvE content be? There are endless opportunities for PvP content in the game, but PvE is a difficult one to figure out. Also, I'd be hesitant to say a FPS style combat would be good, due to how repetetive things would get after a while and how difficult it would be to keep lag from becoming an issue in a large seamless world as this game would be suited for. |

Fuck you lucy, for defining my existance. Fuck you and your differences. |
Great topic! this would definately be a game that i would try out. As for combat i would say essentially an fps with the fluidity of wow's combat. The player run towns would be amazing, it would open a whole new world for roleplaying (literally). - Player operated Trade caravans - Rogue/Bandit/Outlaw Ambushes when traveling between cities. |

Time flies like an arrow. |
- Poker as a minigame! - PvP disabled in some "safe" cities and only accessible via dueling. - In other smaller cities PvP is enabled during nighttime or maybe 24/7. |

Wild West mmorpg, if you made it seamless and based it on history, then the game it self would be mainly PvP, because the only real threat in the wild west of the old days, humans were the only ones who could shoot you with an arrow or bullet from distance, not to mention getting beat up, stabbed or hung from a tree by them, the environment threat was mainly lack of water, sand, deserts, snakes, the sun, more sand, buzzards, coyotes or wolves the occasional mountain lion and more sand & sun. it definitely would be a different game, run very differently from the rest, I see it as being more about exploring and expansion, setting up settlements or just you own ranch or maybe a silver mine or two. you could also play as a member of one the Indian tribes, trying to rise thru the ranks of braves to have a better standing in tribe, feuding against the other tribes, while trying to deal with ever encroaching white people on your tribes land. the character races and classes would very interesting, Races; Immigrants, people from the old country American,( east coast or west ) South Americans Native Indian,(( full breed and crossed ) tribes would depend on what part of America you were starting with.) Classes; Immigrant & Americans Outlaws- sub classes Gold miners & prospectors Military- rank & stations Merchants, no limits Homesteaders Ranch owners, cattle or sheep Pilgrims- mostly starts as this class Law enforcement- rank & station Classes; Indians male or female? Male; warrior, hunter, shaman, etc... Female; hunter gather, healer, repairs, etc... Anyway I hope this helps. :) |

Game is bad if you cant be a dwarf. |
It should be developed by some crappy little studio known to only several 5 star users of this site, corrupted by SOE / EA & finally released as a horrible, incomplete product that gets bashed into the deepest hole of the earth immidiately after its release. And oh yes, it would be a WoW-clone. |

Bitefight links are not referalls, they are the way to gain xp in the game. |
hmmm a feature for a western mmo, take city of heroes and city of villains and reskin them with western outfits and six shooters and shotguns instead and replace all the instances wioth robbing banks , or stop ban dits from robbing banks on the sheriff's side, and oh most importanrt chuck norris and john waynwe would have to be the voice over for every npc. |

| when you have a bitefight link to your vampire to bite people the mods will warn you it is a referall link, it is not a referall, it is the way you get xp in the game by bighting people |

Combat s]kills could include tracking, trapping, hunting, tomahawk, bow. Crafting skills could include scalping, making totems, butchering buffalo carcases, skinning (hides), gold mining, farming. Toon types could include trapper, tracker, warrior, soldier, gambler, outlaw, shaman, cowboy. Raids could include butchering wagon trains, butchering indian villages. I don't llike the raiding theme. On second thoughts, I prefer a fantasy theme. |
