The Perfect MMO

[Reslin]

So many people have complaints regarding some key features that can be found in every mmo. I have witnessed quite a bit of feedback when it comes to complaints and have finally found what would essentially be the greatest mmo on this planet. It will solve such things as gear grind, tiresome dungeon runs, BIS, leveling up, and lack of content.

The way this mmo would work is simple..


Step 1) First off all of these 3D effects, cutscenes, etc have been wasted on this game. Most gamers have the desire to skip these effects what matters is content and only content. So what we're going to do is make a game that doesn't cost much except for the bare minimum required for success. In this game you will pick a shape and customization options will include things like stars, colors, etc. You can even mix in multiple colors with your shape. This will give you the customization you crave and the ensure everyone is as different as can be.

Step 2) This will be about gameplay. No more monotonous go kill these boars. No more quests. No more dungeons and raids. You will be moving on a path. You will have to jump spikes. Double spikes and even triple spikes. Timing will be key. Occasionally you'll get to pick your path but choose wisely. Not all paths are equal! We'll also have a red path for the really hardcore and brave. You gain levels by jumping spikes but levels are designed to reset after 5-15 seconds. This will make sure that no one takes their leveling seriously and thus no reason to grind out the levels. You'll also get a small jump boost upon attaining a level. You know, before it vanishes.

You will have your camera placed behind the 3D shape. This could make it difficult to see the spikes coming but no worry. This is the default. You can rotate your camera and change it up. However, it will still be primarily behind your shape. Any difficulty in seeing the terrain is a "design feature."

Step 3) The multiplayer element. As mentioned above this is an mmorpg and an mmorpg needs players. You're in luck. You'll see on your server many other shapes moving with you. You get to watch them fail and succeed in real time. This will provide a very competitive atmosphere without the risk of namecalling, insulting, being ganked, etc.

Step 4) Content. Ah, the biggest complaint in every mmo in existence. According to the forumers there's no mmo in the world with enough content and no mmo releases it fast enough. This one is different with the lower budget and simpler floor designs we can release quite a few maps that last minutes to hours. There will be jump challenges, time trials, and much much more. As well as a floor design feature to allow players to customize the layout providing endless content.

And that sums it up folks. The mmo you have all been asking for. If I left anything out or if there's anything to add/improve to the design let me know!

At this point, this is where you think and go

"So that's why those nerds preferred to play Dungeons and Dragons the board game.."


Oh one other thing, there's an 'expert mode' which utilizes parsers only in which you can make your own equations to 'succeed' the problem, this takes great amounts of skill to use and is the only way to beat the end-of-the-end-game.

I laughed, I cried, I shook my head, then I laughed again.
Mainly because I'm picturing this game, and it looks awesome/ridiculous.

Dripping sarcasm is the best kind of sarcasm.

[Reslin]

Thank you everyone. I thought you'd find it humorous.

Funny thing part of this reminded of Atari's pitfall game

That's it the next mmorpg will be pitfall online

I just want an MMO with lots of lag. That way when it is time to jump those spikes, I don't know if I actually succeeded or not. The suspense is what it is about. Oh and only one other request... maybe add a random 90000 error on some of the jumps, that way I have to log back in to know if I made it.

Reminded me of Thomas was Alone. Good read for the laughs! Thank you.
