GrindWorld Online is a Sandbox-Style MMORPG I'm developing in which 'Grinding' to build your Character is the primary aspect of game play. The game features Quest Grinding, Mob Grinding, and Craft Grinding. There are no levels. There are a unlimited number of Skills, Weapons, Spells, etc,  and each has its own XP rating in which players can build-up indefinately.  I'm looking for other game play mechanics to apply Grinding  too. All ideas about Grinding are welcome.

Don't forget reputation grind, PvP point grind, and equipment grind (or is this tied to crafting? if so, add harvesting grind).

You could also add in character title grind, second char slot on the same server grind, and in homage to SWG, grind to alpha class (which you'd nerf when a large number of people got it)

Also you need to grind to get to the grinding! (if you do not understand this post than you sir are not very bright)

Checked the OP's info to make sure he wasn't asian. All checked out good. Let the grind fest begin. I would like to donate a bit of cash to this new project. I also would like permission to start a gold farming group to sell gold. Cool? 

Even better would be if this could all be automated. Like Progress quest, but with more to look forwards to than more strength (for less town visits) or having one uber skill. And multiplayer!

Lets start with a white Dot and you have to grind your gender, appearence and class first!

After that you have to grind bricks for your starting town! and so on .....

Sure.

The game will also feature player-created Quest and Art Assets in which the value of items created will be based on the quality (voted on by the players) .

Honestly, that doesn't sound too bad. Reminds me of Spore.

How about just grinding for grindings sake, perhaps you could have a "grinding ground" title, to recognise the amount of grinding for grinding one has done.

Since it is not level based, you should have some form of skill grinding. Something like studying your gauntlet for hours on end to learn how to use heavy armor, or studying your sword for hours on end to learn which end is pointed toward enemy.

I like!

Also, to properly hype and market the game, you will need to add boobs, and blood spraying across the monitor....

This is truly next-gen stuff you're coming up with!

When does the Grind Alpha start?

Best way to start them out is:

Males - get boxer shorts- Customization will be from 8 different colors

Females - Bikini bottoms (no tops to keep the kiddies jizzing) Same customization as males.

In order to get clothes armor and weapons will be based on points. All players will go the grinding ground ( posted with a wooden sign) and punch for points on 1 monster.  At 10,000 points they get to Level 2. Each level will double the points needed to get the next level. When they reach level 10 a Piece of armor will drop. When they get that piece they will move to a new area ( again posted with a wooden sign ) and the punching continues.

pretty decent start if you ask me.

yep....

Before the game even starts you could make players grind by having to remake the models and copy all programing in the game themselves then afterward make them register several times in a row.

You must play through all tutorial quests to activate the next NPC to give you another tutorial quest. Although it's lifetime free to play but pay every month only $4,99 to remove the constantly pop up advertisement . Or download $29,95 advertising blocker. For new type of advertisment not with your old version, you can upgrade your advertising blocker for $6,95/monthly to block more advertisments efficiently.

Supply the players with a lengthy manual that is really a cleverly disguised cryptogram that contains the multi-page registration code to even make their account. Then apply this to the account creation page, tutorial, quest dialogue, etc... That way you make the player grind just to log into and grind some more!

Cheers!
