Is their a website I can go to for information on the game, or if you want to describe it to me that will be excellent.  I am a storyline writer with fresh ideas.  Although I may be helping out with a large project soon, I'm sure I could assist you.  And if you have any chat program like IRC or any voice chat programs such as Ventrilo or Teamspeak, I would suggest you put channel information/IP addresses here.

Yeah, the names are just something I thought would add a light touch to distinguish the bad from good  .  Good name suggestions, though.

      Here is a storyline I had thought of while I was in school.  Its a bit more detailed than my original plan.

Hope you enjoy!

Imagine two choices of "factions".  The "Admireables" and the "Unpleasants".

The "Admireables"...

The Admireables side consists of the human race.  The Admireables are a knowledgeable race with radiant ideas.  They have an outstanding ability to create powerful technology from resources on their home planet, earth.  One tiny type of species that most Admireables wanted nothing to do with has made some big problems, insects.  Just about every Admireable hates insects.  Just about everyone squishes them daily.  Whether it be on their way to work, school, or just doing regular activities like mowing the lawn or raking the leaves.  The Admireables had always thought that insects were very unintelligent when it came to comparing them with other species.  They were so unpleased with them, the Admireables had given them a new name, the Unpleasants.

The "Unpleasants"...

The Unpleasants had ruled earth for millions of years before the discovery of the human race.  These creatures known as "insects" to many people.  The majority of the insect population stays clear of the new race that has inhabited the earth.  These insects aren't as dumb as you think they are.  They build their own colonies, get their own food, are very strong and are hard working creatures.  They have a much larger population than the human race, and are much more dangerous in packs.  Some Admireables are starting to realize some of these things and are becoming more and more interested in them.  But the deeper the Admireables look, the deeper trouble they will be in.

Everyones welcome to add onto this storyline.  Be creative, perhaps go deeper into the storyline, change the names of the factions, add leaders, make wars, change the time if you want!  Have fun writing!

Ah, good ol' huge spiders.  I keep a piece of all big creatures I kill in a little locked chest inside my shack.  Ever spider, crocodile, bear, black bear, wild boar I help kill I butcher it and get myself a piece of their flesh, some say its crazy but its the memory of my time in Wurm that matters.  I do a lot more combat now since the reset and its a game worth playing if you want something great out of it.

I started Second Life around 2004.  Loved it since.  I gambled in that game, yeah you know who doesn't?  Whats it going to hurt if you can take linden dollars and transfer it into real life money?  I honestly don't see the bad part of it.  The federal agency is just sticking their noses where it doesn't belong.  Second Life is a great game, I don't care what anyone says.

This whole thing pisses of me off.. its gambling in a game, whats so bad about it, the FBI keep snooping there nose where it doesnt belong, now the economy in SL is near crashing because casinos and gambling make up a large portion of the money spent in SL...

Congradulations, you have just labeled yourself for the rest of your time on MMORPG.com

Congratulations, you have just labled yourself as a man with horrible English.  Downgraded two points, and your welcome .

"Script Kitty" website?  Dude, first of all its Script Kiddy, get it right.  Second of all, I suggest you go play WoW and grind your lvl 30 palidan or dark elf.

Western Idea for an MMORPG.

I've been doing a lot of reading on western life and gun battles.

I think it would be a good idea to make some kind of western MMORPG.

It wouldn't hurt to try.  Just sit down, look up some western stuff,

gather your ideas.  Use Realcrafter, or even a free 2D engine,

there are so many out their, but I like Eclipse 2D Gaming

Engine.  I'm not sure if its still available, but that would be perfect

for anyone interested in developing a western MMORPG.

Try and get some good detailed pixel avatars, now i'm not

saying learn C# or C++ to make it the best game ever, I mean

just have some fun with it, gather ideas, look at photos,

create like outlaw/lawmen/civilian races, goverment politics,

etc.. and then if you like it, you can keep developing it.  Perhaps

even use a 3D engine and start really having fun with it.  Just

some ideas, thanks.

Open for comments/suggestions/downgrades/ etc..

*Stay (sic) *

It seems like a worthy cause.  I've been developing small little

games and making modifications for many diverse games for almost

four years now.  Heck, now that I think about it, the times flown by.  I

 went from moderating my friends chat rooms, to developing 2D

games, to assisting my friend in making a small Mario type game,

then making Battlefield 2 Modifications and Maps... ah, that was

fun.  I currently volunteer to assist the new residents of Second Life,

and show them around, I even own a little non-profit group that

takes field trips to places all around Second Life.  Yeah, I'm interested.

P.S. I also helped my friend with scripting his games, I know

basic Java, and Visual Basics.  I've been playing and 'studying'

MMORPGs for well over two years now.

I used to develop simple but fun MMORPGs a few years ago.  I have some good concept ideas for them.  These I just thought of while I was watching The Omen, good movie.

1.  3D Graphics Designed Gane (Realcrafter, etc..)

2.  You play the role of a demon from hell.  You terrorize modern cities and remote towns with your demonic spells, hand-to-hand, or keyboard controlled combat moves.  You can also include some projectile weapons, be creative with it.  Look up some history.

3.  A different guild system where you have a set of different levels with all kinds of different permissions.  For example.  Their can be one selected person to be an overlord in the WHOLE game.  Then, a set of perhaps five princes from different guilds all around the game.  Then a set of about twenty generals from different guilds from everywhere.  Finally, the generals and princes select who becomes who, examples would be perhaps a vampire, a werewolf, a demon, etc.. And their are different camps run by each prince.  The soldiers are put into groups to fight off the human kind.

4.  3 or less human races with politics, goverment, military, and some sort of economy.  For example, they select a President.  Senators, then leaders of each department, examples would be a political leader, and a miltary leader.  They each hold meetings with each other to discuss how to defeat the demons.

5.  Basicly, what i'm getting at is sort a more held together version of Face of Mankind, if we have any vets reading this.

If you are using this as a blueprint/base for your game, I can help. :)

Guys, incase you haven't noticed, this may be the first game ever to be comeplely player controlled. The game is stressfull and you have people that are really annoying. Unlike you wow kiddies where you have npcs to hold your hand, fom has people that train you and show you the ways. And if someone kills someone, that can have a huge impact on war. Its not like in wow where everything is planned, fom is unexpected. You can be standing in manhattan market and next thing you know be killed. People like mercenaries can be real assholes at times, they will nade you, act all tought, and gang up on you with his other merc friends. Then you get really pissed because it wasent a fair fight. And fom takes skill, again, not like wow were you have 60 attack and 50 defend. Its all about mouse and keyboard movement. The game like I said before is very stressful, I myself have been really pissed off, mainly at mercenaries and raged and almost quit the game. And your not fighting npcs where you know how much damage and attack you do to them. And its not where you have a dragon sword +3 blessed, its you have a Linner PP7 assault rifle with either 7.62 full metal jackets, or titanium bullets. the Linner PP7 isent the only gun in the game, you have the Zanithd pistol, the Hallem Tar 7, the RGI-9, the techtronic 6x6 and some other guns.

"Generally, when someone sits down to play a game, they expect to have some fun.  They expect to be introduced to a new world where the rules and laws of everyday life don’t apply.  Basically, they expect to be entertained.  After five hours of continuous playing, you know what I achieved?  I was able to do some mining.  Wait, that’s misleading.  I was able to tell a terminal to do some mining for me.  During five hours of game play, not a damn thing happened.  There were no missions for me to run, there were no intuitive aspects of the game for new players to work with.

Other players run everything in the game.  Missions are set up by other players, all purchasable items are made by other players, the economy is run by other players.  What this means to starting gamers is that, unless there’s someone online to custom tailor a mission for that player, there’s very little for a first time gamer to do.  With nothing to do comes a sense of boredom and the game turns into nothing other than a “running simulator” as players go from one place to another with no point or purpose."

Listen buddy, as I have stated before, and is very obvious, ASK PLAYERS FOR HELP!!!! Don't ruin the fucken game for the rest of us. Ask players for help, ONLY players in your faction. Look on their badge for the stripes or w/e they use. If they have one stripe or more, ask them about TRAINING. They will most likely tell you the trainers name. And also ask if they have a Ventrillo or Teamspeak, and if they do, ask them for the IP.

So guys, don't make the game sound fucken retarted, and this has been going on for awhile. Tyron, I doubt that you tested out all thos games, because if you did, you would know to ask PLAYERS FOR HELP.

Listen up guys, I have played face of mankind before it went p2p, and it was the best game, do you know why? I don't sit around and kill things, I get involved in the actual faction. L.E.D for example, I was a r3 led. And I loved it, patroling, going on raids, protecting citizens, going to meetings, drug busts, everything. You guys just need to get involved in the game, ask someone that has a rank 3 or above, look on there badge for three stripes, or w/e the faction uses. Ask them about training and joining the faction. They will probably tell you to go talk to (insert name here), or whoever is in charge of training. So guys, please don't make this game sound boring, I must admit, at a time I found it extremely boring, then I asked a guy how I can get involved, and then I went to training then after a day or so, got my rank. Trust me guys. Now there are some bugs in the game, when I was playing you could walk threw a plant on CD (Ceres Delta) by the mission terminal, and fall threw the map and die, and there was a way people got down their and got the loot. I don't know how they got back up. Now ganking, isen't as big as it was. Before, you coulden't step outside without being ganked, they actually had to have the FDC (Freedom Defence Corps) come down and help the L.E.D. out. Not exactly martial law. Just on major raids like B.O.S. (Brotherhood Of Shadows), or Merc (Mercenaries Of The Blood). The one thing that kept me going on that game was the constant murders, raids, drug busts, etc. And you mostly worked in a team over ventrillo or teamspeak (VOIP Programs). So have fun with the game guys, I hop this post helped some people change there mind about the game.
