• • Why are there no "Western" themed MMO's ?

    Frontier is in development, tho on halt because of lack of a proper engine. Don't know if it's the same status now.

    That sounds interesting. Hopefully they can bring it home.

    Thanks for the link.

    I'd play if my name could be "Mad Dog Mcgee"

    Sounds like a good idea I just think that there isn't much development when it comes to classes or skills or whatnot

    I mean your a gun using pan handling gold digger who frequents a saloon

    and so is everyone else

    Well I mean you could be "Doc Johnson" and save the farmer's cow from being stuck in a ditch or something, but I just think that it would take a lot of thought to make this genre into an MMO

     

    If it was done like pre-cu SWG where you didn't "pick" a class, but rather you had skill points you could distribute, you could have skill boxes like;

    Bandit, Lawman, Bounty Hunter, Rancher, Merchant, Doctor, Entertainer, etc.
    
    Of course, the implementation of Native Americans would have to be done so as not to offend anyone.

    It would be tricky, but I think it could be great if done right.

• • Why are there no "Western" themed MMO's ?

  • I have always wondered why there is no "Boot Hill Online" or any other "Western" themed MMO's out there.

    I think a western MMO could be a blast if done right.

    Anyone else agree?

• • Player Death v Immortality

  • I have always thought that all MMOs should have "Ironman" servers. one PvE and one PvP. These servers would have some version of a "permadeath" system for those hardcore players that want real risk in their gaming experience.

    The intricacies would have to be worked out, but I am sure there is a segment of gamers that want this.
