how bout big dragons! you find eggs in dragons lairs and raise them :D assuming of course you can kill the dragon guarding the eggs. and maybe sometimes there isnt one guarding the eggs. but the more powerful dragon eggs should have a higher probability of being guarded.

There must always be a balance of risk and reward.  And there must also be fun.  I think this is a very good idea as long as all mini-games are planeshift themed and \"fit\" into the world (so no Space Invaders or other Arcade style games).  I imagine in the world of planeshift there would be special card or board games (or perhaps a totaly unique game usings stones?), and the multiplayer aspect is definitly appealing.  I would also like to see the Battle Arena idea where players can sign up to fight the champ.  Records can be kept of who has won the most fights.  

After the fight we can all sit down to play the Planeshift card game... but no using magic to cheat ;-)

I just wanted to chime in cause I find this funny. Not funny that I think it is a dumb idea or anything. I just find it funny cause thinking about it makes me laugh. We don\'t yet have an actual game yet but people want mini games in to play while playing. I just find that a bit comical don\'t you?

Oh well one game I liked and sure killed the down time was a little thing in EQ. They took the icons used for spell memorization and used them in a gems type game. You linked so many of the same icon and you got the spell effect to enhance the game.It was pretty neet especially getting 4 damage shields. Levitate really sucked though......

My opinion

Yeah, I like this idea about mini-games.
How about some minigames you could play at the local tavern? It would be games like \"poker\", \"roulette\", \"Blackjack\" etc. in those game you bet money (oops, I just read your reply Rageburst) ;)  There could also be some kind of card trading game (Yes, I got the idea from FF8 ), and cock-fighting (with monsters).
There could also be a \"dart\" minigame, and a bowshooting-game (in game).
Here\'s some more...

*Memory
*Throw-the-dice
*Drinking-contest (no, I\'m not serious :D )
*arm-wrestling
*music-contest (In this game you must press the button in the right second to make the music sound good)

Nah EQ doesn\'t have me brainwashed.... They just picked on a game I happen to really like. Gems is a great little mind game to play.



Dice is a good game cause you can just set it to a random generator.... IE you type in a code like /dice or maybe /roll and it sets off a little random number thing that picks a number from 1 and 6, well depending on how many sides the die are that are chosen to be used.

Just had a thought.... It could remain 1 through 6 but you could add to the comand how many die you wish to cast. IE /roll 2 would roll two die and you could play craps.... do /roll 6 and tally the numbers to random off items to the best roller.... Stuff like that, could not only be fun in a tavern but could also settle disputes.... \"Hey I wont that.\", \"I saw it first.\", \"But I could really use it.\", \"But I need it.\".... \"Ok fine the three of you roll for it... the highest of six die wins.\"

While we\'re at it, why not include red & white balls that we can use to throw at creatures and maybe even other players to catch them, train them, and then eventually have them fight for us! hehehehe  :P

This is an awsome idea !

Everyone, ask your grandfathers and such for games they played as kids and get good descriptions of rules etc. No arkade games, nothing out of style, just good games, like the ones kids played in the old days. I would like to see horseshoe throwing and (beware of the lousy translation) \"throwing at the stick\" game my uncle told me about.

And Card games, with nice decks with pictures of gods and godesses on them. A picture of Link as the Joker is a must. Dice games, wich are simple to make. Chess, checkers, special card games like in might & magic 7.

I would hate a casino with flasy lights and slot machines. I dont think we should even call it a casino, but a gaming house, or the house of games or somethinh like that. Casino reminds me of Las Vegas.

I don\'t think the risk that there will be \"flashy lights Vegas style\" is very big...I mean in PLaneshift they havn\'t discovered electricity yet right..? I\'m not sure about the \"slot machines\" either...
Mini-games should be a social game where many people participated. I really want to see people play Poker around a table with thousands of trias (in game money) lying on the table, and scary guys with weapons twice their size and pipes that makes the tavern become filled with smoke.

I havn\'t even seen Link...Even if he WAS on the cards nobody would recognize him right ;)

Erm, hmm...doh...
I\'m not sure I like the idea about pok?-crystals...
For one thing, Pok?mon is evil and must burn in hell, and I think it would be better if you use a \"summon\" skill to summon creatures.
Or if you\'re a ranger you should be able to tame the animals and have them fight for you.
There should be a \"monster\" shop somewhere in the world where you could buy already tamed creatures to fight on your side.
Even if it were \"crystals\" instead of pok?balls, it wouldn\'t be unique because the resemblance is too big.

Hey, this isnt really a mini game idea but i was wondering, i think for archers insted of just clicking on the enemy and instantly fireing the arrow perfectly you should have to do like a power and acuraccy bar when you fire....I dont know I thought that wuld make it more uniqe and alot less boring..



 Also, for the card game(hoping there is one) There should be mosters and people and spells form the plane shift world and they have difrent attribute.....

p.s. the poke crystals is pushing on copyright infingment :P

Isn\'t that aiming thing already included? ?(
I don\'t think that PS is using the marking technique. The best thing would be if you played like in Zelda: Ocarina of time.
Of course you should have to aim on your own! :)

It should be like in all those 1st person shootemups with arrows.  You hold down a button and you get some crosshairs. :D

Timing with a little bar shouldn\'t matter though.  How far you full back the string and your skill should matter.
