Title: Details details details!
Post by: Decaying Angel on May 13, 2003, 07:33:15 pm
As I\'ve encountered in many games, people like details. I\'m very positive about the settings; they are all very diverse and built. Yet I would really like to see the devs monitoring the game, and make changes according to player\'s actions.

For example, my character makes a pact with the devil. I would like to see the results of that. If mister demon guy says I can have wings, at the cost of my soul, then I want wings! Everything is possible in a real fantasy world, so everything should be possible in PS.

This doesn\'t mean you should pre-build everything, but some monitoring and adjusting can work miracles.

This is just a suggestion, but detail is high on the demand list of most RPG-players.

You should realize that the user base of a MMORPG of the quality of PS, and that is free, will be massive, possibly larger than in any other MMORPG, if the bandwith is found to allow all players on, i would suppose users up in the 10-20 thousands (the most i have seen in ragnarok online, a open beta is 11 thousand, and that doesn\'t have fancy graphics). That would be a massive task for the devs to monitor

I have however found some MUD\'s with a bit over 100 users where the devs have an effect on the playing on the game, but there is like 3 devs and 500 users, which are sane numbers, and even there there is sometimes where they are too busy to interfer.
