I see your point. It is quite controversial.

I think that the problem with this is that you may want a game which YOU do not like to fail in order to shift the evolution of MMOs in a direction YOU would like more which does not take into account preferences of other people.

Maybe someone else may want GW to succeed in order to influence the MMO developers to choose the path which Anet has chosen for their MMO and build on that.

We need to be able to build towns , cities , houses , use our webcams so we can put our faces on our toons, upload jpegs so we can add custom logos to our creations.

Upload mp3s so we can put custom music in our houses , we need 1 server so we can play with millions of people.

Besides your email you used to get to the point, I agree with your general idea, I've played MMO's for almost 20 years now, and we are sort of at a standstill in innovation.

I can point to afew novels as examples "Net Force: Explorers" show a example of what a MMO of the future will be, noted the technology isn't upto the standards that are used in the books BUT we are getting there, and half of the innovations shown in the novel's mmo world setting (one of the books in the series has a mmo based story) shows examples of building towns, cities and such.

The final fact that caught my eye in that particular novel was that the game was a generational mmo, one that had been built up from WoW'ish origins at a tech level we have today, into a mmo we'd dream about in the future.......

food for thought !!!

Oh and to your example of your son and the toast, dont be lazy, teach him how to make it himself :P

The secret world sucks , SWTOR was a disaster and hopefully GW2 will bomb.

That way in the future we can have as I suggested before....

 

A prison mmorpg

A cowboy themed mmorpg

A zombie mmorpg

Kinda interesting that you want something different than normal. Why do you think the secret world sucks? It should be exactly what you ask for.

It is a horror inspired mmo, and it has a "1 server tech" so you actually can play with millions of other people if they all subscribe. At least 200.000+ people has bought the game at least. 

Who knows if they can/will add the other things you want but... my main pointis... the game is different and you say "its crap" and want it to fail. Why dont you play it?

How can you expect any sane developer to make a game that isnt mainstream now? it seems mainstream is what generates the money (enough players buying and subscribing/spending money in cash shops)

For successfull gamedevelopments like you want, you should buy the different and unusual games like 

Fallen earth

Darkfall

and probably alot more games like these that tried another approach.

What kind of person would make his wife cook breakfast?  You make the wife and kid toast, eggs, beacon, biscuits and orange juice.  You put half the food on the table before the kid wakes and you go to his room and quietly say, "Hay, pajama boy, time to rise an shine."  He gets up, rubs his eyes, goes potty.  You say, "Wash you hands."  He does and you lead him to breakfast at the table.  Then you get a bedside tray and put the other half of breakfast on it and take it to the bedroom where wife is.  

Wash, rinse, repeat.

By the time you apes realize that its the community that makes the game, its dun man.

Never satisfied

ZOMBIES?! DUDE SO ORIGINAL! DID YOU JUST BEAT THE GAME?! WHAT A JOKE LOL

GUESS WHAT GW2 DIDNT FAIL AND WON'T FAIL. IT HAS NO MONTHLY FEE AND ALL US FOOLS GONNA BE STOPPING BY AND SPENDING TIME IN TYRIA FOR YEARS TO COME. GO PLAY HELLO KITTY ONLINE. OBVIOUSLY YOU CANNOT HANDLE HIGH FANTASY VIDEO GAMES SINCE YOU WANT *PRISON MMORPGS* THATS GOING TO SELL A LOT LOL

This is why the internets make you dumber....cry...

It's just a WoW clone.  The main raid boss is a burley guy called Steve, he comes to your cell every Tuesday to steal your crackers.  

Why would we need a game so many people is enjoying to fail?

Pure selfishness there? ¬¬

No I wont make you toast today son. He asked me why and I told him I always make him toast , his mother never makes him toast.

Go wake up your mom and tell her to make you some toast. He started to cry and went to wake her up.

A few minutes later his mother appeared and asked me why I wont make him toast, hes crying. I told her its because I didnt feel motivated to make good toast , I had no competition from her since she always let me make the toast.

Now as I sat at the table thinking some more I realized that is what mmorpg's need but in order for that to happen we need Guild Wars 2 to fail along with the secret world and all future mmorpg's.

We need a mmorpg crash similar to the video game crash of the 80's. We need it to be clear to future developers that we need innovation and competition.

or, maybe... just maybe. you need to treat your son better ^^

just make him some toast ffs

Man fuck that. Todays parents are too soft. What he needs to do is teach his son how to till a field, plant some seed, dig a well, build a complicated irrigation system, proper weeding and pest control, how to harvest, how to seperate the wheat from the chaff, build a mill, grind the grain, mine some salt, culture some yeasts, raise some cattle, churn cream into butter, knead the dough, fire the loaves, slice the loaves, and finally toast the bread (over an open fire), and then spread with butter.

I guess what I'm really saying is that we need the bread, butter, and toaster making industries to fail so we can all learn to be better people.
