Why do people request things that other MMOs have. Well because most of the things we wan't are basic staples of MMOs. SquareEnix made some things different for the sake of being different and looked what happened? Even Yoshi-P came out and admitted things were made different not because they were better but because they wanted to try something different. Then he said that was the wrong approach. It's time to start adding the basics of MMOs.

There is no reason to not do things in a game because WoW did it, or EQ did it or Rift did it. You can take functionality of other passed MMOs, current MMOs and add in your own twists in ADDITION to that and make a unique game. Simply throwing things out the window because someone did it before is moronic.

Let's throw out hit points and magic points, killing monsters, ranking up, traveling across landscapes, starting cities, equipment etc. All these things have been done before, hell WoW did them, that's reason enough to toss em away. Let's have a new MMO and call it black screen, we can all stare at a black screen all day, no other MMO's have that feature.
