So in other words only money counts and not creativity originality that combines with fun depth and real virtual world in a sandbox settings, no lets make only games that mass likes that bring in the cash.

Result mainly hold hand themeparks and hold hand these days is art to make it extremely easy for all you casuals who hate doing even a small task and already complain you had to walk for 10meters:P

Fun & depth are subjective. I found UO ultraly bornig and aggravating. I don't find that virtual world fun at all.

I found WOW 100x more fun than EQ .. because it has instances & LFD so i don't have to camp a boss with 50 others.

And good news to me. What i found fun is fun for the masses. That is what matter to me.

Virtual world pretty much doesn not matter to me. If it does, i would be playing Second Life.

Consider it this way, can you really come up with an original concept? Its extremely hard since so much has already been done before. Sure, you can make it more original with effort, but your still going to infringe on something else. Think up an idea  in your head and google it. Chances are, its already done or its so wack no one would even know what to do with it. 

Oh, and if you thought "Mutant penguins where you got to bash those penguins with a bat and stop them from going to a doomsday scale to start the end of the world", sorry that game exists.

I can come with an original concept and I am not asking for a lot. Hire me and you won't regret it.

Also, if you want to get inspired.... check the new Board Games that were released in the last 3 years.

Second Life is not a Virtual World because you can jump to any address by teleporting all the time. Every travels by doing so; thus, it is not a Virtual World. To be in a world is to be in a world... and Second Life is a stupid Cyber Chat, not a Virtual World.

A Virtual World is a place with Lore and Culture where you can travel inside and live an adventure. It is not made for your own convenience, it is made to deliver the sense that you're in a dangerous world. Exploration, freedom and player interaction and cooperation is key here.

That doesn't mean there are not content. There are and there should be. Dungeons of all kinds and too many of them and that should be the combat content. Instead of going to NPC 01 in town to Switch on his ! sign to be able to loot Captain Dread's head once you kill him..... you should be able to do so without going back to town beforehand. Trade should be done by player interaction instead of advanced robotic program called Auction House where you get the best prices of a specific item in a press of a button.

But then again this kind of world is NOT for you. Because you said you like WoW more than EQ. You should be happy, a lot of MMORPGs play like that all over the market. Good for you.... Good for you... I envy you.

 You know...IMO, WoW was a better game than EQ or UO.  And as you say, the market would agree with that.

But despite that, WoW is missing a lot of what made EQ and UO charming.  And in more recent time, it's drifted pretty far over into the "multiplayer RPG" part of the continuum and away from being an MMORPG.

I want the best of both worlds.  I want an MMORPG that has the polish, accessibility, and gameplay of WoW, but also has the virtual world, player interaction, and community of EQ or UO.  Why shouldn't we shoot for the stars?
