MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood returns this week with a column taking an idea for an MMO directly from a popular Sci-Fi television program, Caprica, in which people visit a virtual game world with no point and no direction called New Cap City.
I want to start this week's column with a disclaimer: If you have any intentions of watching the Sci Fi series Caprica, and haven't done so yet, the following article is going to prove something of a spoiler for you. Don't keep reading, and if you do, don't say I didn't warn you.
A while back, one of my colleagues wrote a weekly column called "Why Not." Each week, he'd come up with a different concept for an MMO and then talk about it, looking for reader opinions. Today, I wanted to resurrect that tradition by writing Why Not: New Cap City.
