This week’s Community Spotlight focuses on the thread “Sooo… The Future for MMO’s? – 5 Things you would like to see” by Breezeycouk. Breezeycouk’s thread is an attempt to channel a lot of the dissatisfaction and negativity many of us are feeling into a positive discussion on what five things you would like to see in future MMOGs.
1. Player Housing similar to SWG's system
2. An open world Similar to SWG, MO, and / or Darkfall
3. Vast options for stat / skill distribution
4. Good character customization
5. Innovation. Come up with something new
1. Horizons example - The Craft System was Flawless, Housing was Flawless, Gathering was Flawless.
2. Multiple Races and Cross Classes example - Dungeons and Dragons Online.
3. Combat System example - Mass Effect 2, Conan and Vanguard.
4. Sci Fi or Fantasy example - Eve Online, Mass Effect 1 and 2.
5. Character Creation System example - Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, EverQuest 2, Conan, and City of Heroes.
In the end you walk out with a game that would interest almost 90% of all MMO Addicts.
