• • General: '08 Awards: Most Innovative Feature

  • CSM got my vote because it was the most invasive feature out of the whole lot from a game i have actually played and liked

    SQO has had a public quest like system that actually works though i haven't played war so i cant say for sure that they are a similar system

    but there were no real choices in that list the csm effect can be achieved by a simple forum vote where the devs ignore the biggiest winers and go with the best option

• • Do any MMOs make you feel like a hero?

  • you can get whatever you want within reason out of the MMO genre atm people round here just suck at finding the right MMO for them i have found

    those MMO's do exist you just havent found it yet go and look trough the list of relesed and open beta games thats on this site and dont dismiss the ones you havent heard of or have low populations i gurantee you will find what you are looking for and if you dont you didnt look hard enough or you were far too unrealistic in your wants/expectations

• • The Bible Online - when will it happen?

  • i have no doubt that i would be arrested withinn seconds of me beginning to preach that all religion is inherrently bad because of all the wars it creates and to stop all the needless death all religions should be banned

    but im getting off topic id say there wouldnt be a religion based MMO unless it was something like holy war online where you level by killing people who dont worship your god (faction) but than it would just be a giant rvr game based on real religions which is not a sound IP and so would never get from concept to production

• • First bots spotted in Aion

  • why not look for the signs of people buying gold and track it back to the sccounts that are selling if you find an account that is doing heaps of unbalanced trades would it not be easy to just ban every account that made an unbalanced trade to that accound then put up a news post every month saying we banned this many botters and RM Traders this month sure it would take a bit and the botters would find out after a while but what way is there to get around it the mechanics can be made to specifically make it easy to write such a program and stop the botters getting round it

    additionally you could ban the CD keys that are botting or buying the currency so you make even more cash of extra box sales from botters that want to come back to try it again

    and if you catch a few innocents you can impose a few draconian measures upon them to get the CD key unbanned

    while it wont get all the bots it will get the buyers and the bots which is combating the problem on 2 fronts

• • Will we see more MMOs shut down in the future?

  • of course games will be cancelled but only after they become sh1tbox games that noone will pay for cancellation can be avoided by makeing a good game so yes cancellation is good it makes devs wake up and see if they make a sh1tbox game players will slam them for it and they will lose cash on it

    additionally some games may never be shut down well not for a long long time because so long as its a good game that players like to play and the publisher can keep it that way by doing plenty of updates and refreshers to it the player base will do 1 of 3 things increase slowly stay stable or decline slowly unless one of the updates turn it into a sh1tbox game in which case it will die, its all about being a good game and keeping it a good game
