heres how id make mine.

It would be a RvR(Realm vs Realm) idea, but pvp would be decided among race and faction. So, it would be like, if your say... an elf or a human, you would be at war with a more primative realm of trolls, ogres, barbarians(this has nothing to do with EQ or EQOA, just races and thouhts i put into my own idea). Like, primative vs advanced. Id make the primative realm a more brute and shamanistic type of a realm. But the advanced would be more Caster and Religion based with a harder melee system to comprehend and pursue. I.e.- an ogre from the more primative realm would be capable of learning primative arts and dark arts. Such as a shaman charector, or a necromancer charector, and everything would be simpler to do but less effective. But their tank classes which say... a berserker(berserkers were actually real, they were norsemen who would go into killing frenzies that could not be stopped and kill people one after another), it would beat the living **** out of an advanced tank class. Such as... a human who takes on the role of a tank, like in Eqoa- say the paladin, or an armsman from daoc. They are all good fighters, but they are not as good fightin melee as they would casting. Which, is an essential to all games- charector effectiveness is somewhat determined by your race. But, it would be pretty much a question of who in the long run dominates. Casters vs tanks or zergs of casters would be better or zergs of tanks would be better.(llike starcraft how zerg moves in packs)I would make it a no leveling game, free of any type of leveling at all. But you would have to learn what magic or weaponary type you would be best at. Say you want to be a wizard, you would need to learn your elemental magics more advanced by fighting most with say... an ice or water nuke type spell line. Or say you wanted to be a rogue type of class, you would fight more often with thrust style weapons or slash style weapons, stealthing(hiding), stealing, evading and the well known backstab ability. Also, there would be an armor absorb factor. Such as plate armor being more vulnerable to crush damage, or scaled being vulnerable to slash damage, being that when you go in a slashing motion, it goes either upward, some what straight, or downward, which since it is scale- it would be more vunerable because you can lift it up sort of which would be more effective compare to a... bill or a rapier being thrusted into you 180 degree straight. Also, I would make aging a factor in it. Like, if you have your charector for say... 1 year your stats will be higher then they were when u first started, as you would notice your face growing older, your muscles growing stronger, or your gut going flabbier. But age would be determined by a diet, which I think would be very cool. Certain foods would give u certain short term benefits or long run benefits. Like... say you drink whiskey, it would help you take blows because you would be drunk and unable to feel as much as its proper effect. But it would also some what decrease your dexterity, and put on a gut if you drink it enough. But on the other hand if you eat your fruits n veggies :-P you would be developing a more to a stat, not much noticably but over time it would make a slight difference which could save your *** in a fight. Like increasing your stamina by a few points, and your strength a few points. But if you didnt eat much and are more active and hardly eat, you would be quick and dexterous. You would be better at evading and landing blows, because chances are youd be thin, swift, and nimble. But, how would you get food and make sure people dont just farm food all day and create an over powered charector? You would make the consumables on a respawn timer and how long they stay fresh timer ha ha. like, apples dont just instantly regrow, deers and cows dont just instantly get reborn into adults. It takes time. you would be able to hunt and forage for your food as well as buy it from a merchant, but food would be pricey to make sure people dont farm non stop and buy food all the time. I have many more ideas but Id love to hear some interesting additions or class/race ideas added. Why I posted this is because a friend of mind is friends with a team lead from mythic who knows Matt Firor the guy who created daoc and i heard he was open to ideas and i just thought itd be interesting to see ideas like this to become reality in different MMORPGS. Well, post on plz keep free of flaming.

Would it include something to translate whatever the **** you wrote into something legible?

Paragraphs, son, paragraphs.

hey hey i like the ideas here a good base in wich to start any way ok i like the ideas of the lower vs higher but the necro thing should go iether way and i think armor is what makes your life would be good like you bleed if cut you know i would make the realms together make a human then make counter like orc make a orger make a counter like dwarf make an elf get the counter troll see that way you have all the side evenly matched make it where the food thing only goes by time sure you can sit around all day and eat your vegies lol but it does no good if you can't wing a wep and it would take years to make them that good any way i like to talk about making games so if you want repond i will see if you do cya man

Mine would come with a suicide kit.

No, you've got to let your players unlock the suicide kit after a year or two of play, otherwise you lose your pay base too early.

A side-scrolling online game like Mega Man, where you can choose to be a hero, a random enemy (like the Mets/Hardhats), or a boss monster. That'd be fun.

Yeah, that would be fun, in 1980 maybe.

Hmmm, never played the old mega mans except like... Mega Man 3 on super nintendo when I was 8. But just let some of my thoughts come out of here, I only wanna hear suggestions, thoughts for additions, and things you disagree or agree with. No sillyness though0 like rephrasing :-P
