The Future of Endgame

Basically, we need some pvp/pve somewhere in here.

You just described every MMO, MUD or single player RPG in existence or that will be in existence. The player will always be expected to fight something, either the environment or other players.

I've already listed how PvP is a no-win situation for FFXI. You would celebrate the changes until you got your chest mud stomped, over and over again, by one of the small number of broken combos in the game. You would then cry at how it's unfair and all that jaz, unless you were playing one of the broken combos, then you'd go around thumping your chest saying how awesome you are.

Face it, to implement PvP the Devs would have to re-engineer all the jobs and implement a system radically different then regular play. With all the other things that need to be done and most of their manpower being stripped to go work in FFXIV I ~really~ don't see them being able to do this.

Dungeon crawl will be a FFXI-themed conversion of Nethack. If you die while inside your character will be deleted.
