It's the world physics equivalent of the world environment's elves.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

OP: Good question, lazy lead-in... Magic imo is the ability to bend or even sometimes break the rules of the (in mmorpg case) virtual world. That's why it's magic. Secondly it's magic because doing this is uncommon: If it became common, it would then simply become part of the world, like using magic for energy for heating the home etc etc... :( That's where I think rpgs have to be careful with magic imo: It ends up becoming another form of artillery or something equivalent to the unmagical equivalent. Obviously all those flash effects are too good to not use whenever possible on screen... so it's ubiquitous magic in most mmorpgs: Not REAL magic. |

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising? |

It's the arrows that have extra colored animations that come from the guy wearing a dress.

Sounds like an SAT question.
Magic is to MMORPG as:
A) Sex : Porn B) Fuel : Vehicle C) Apple : Fruit D) Politics : Humanity |

Like any fantasy game, magic is a necessity in that world. :)

You need mana to conduct magic.

Magic is a cheat for lazy developers who cannot be bothered engaging their imagination.
