Let me start by saying I have played around 20 MMO's including popular and underground ones... alot. And I am very familiar with how they work/what makes them good/what makes them bad.
This is going to be an interesting MMORPG that can do what many have claimed to do but have lied and just used it as a twisted selling point because its what a lot of MMO gamers want.
Back when I was a little kid, before MMO's were released on the shelves of our stores, before everquest and even that overrated complete failure Runescape was released I played this game (which has been ruined)
Getting Started
Although this game was ruined because the game developer and his 6 person team signed a bad contract with a company, this used to be the best MMO I played of its time.
Now the game developer has started making a new and very interesting MMORPG for around a year now. Since hes the only programmer involved and the game is being made as a hobby as it is for the people working with him, it will be a long time until it is released.
He has interesting concepts I know he can deliver on, because he is extremely careful and patiant on his game mechanics and social systems.
Note: KoS maens Kill on Sight.
Note: Even if player(s) are banned they can still kill the guards/player(s) within them along with anyone else who wants to join in.
He is making a MMORPG that will have >>> FULLY <<< PLAYER CONTROLLED:
Government and maybe an evil government (including KoS lists and being able to ban players from their towns)
Guilds (who can ban people from their own towns)
Towns
Shops
And much more.
A big reason why this will work is they have a very good community already who came with Lothgar from his last game (though their not afraid to be evil charecters)
As I said hes very careful when making games and hes had ALOT of experiance. Many of MMO's have taken help from this one guy to get their games back on track, install new features and even use his programming languages he developped himself.
Note: PvE = Player vs Enemy > Charecter(s) vs computer(s)
Note: PvP = Player vs Player > Player(s) vs Player(s)
Even though the graphics are going to be fail, and he won't have superior raid PvE play (like WOW mainly... and don't argue this point because iv'e played most MMO's out there through max level gameplay) or great PvP play (like alot of games but this is very subjective), but it will be a great social game and every player will hold their influence in it.
I HOPE TO GOD HE PULLS THIS OFF!
