Since this game is a MMO Roleplaying Game fot my opinion each player must be able to play a role in the game, he/she should be able to the almost everythin he/she ever wanted to do but cant in real life:)
For this thought i tought up some sort of system, call it what you want to call it, that should make this possible. Some things I worked out better than others and i dont really know if everything i thought of is actually possible but here we go!
As you start you are nothing... Just a guy or girl with some clothes and one small weapon. You start in a big NPC controlled city, some sort of capital of the world. Here are some NPC \"guilds\" in their headquarters you can be teached a profession, like miner, hunter etc etc.
Somewhere in the city is some sort of board full of advertisement, for companies that need a hand. So you can find a job easily. So you can get a job to earn money.
OR: you can do quests to earn money and to unlock some new skills. I this game we dont have leveling, you start with a number of experience points and by doing quests or learn a profesion with one of the guilds you can get new things you can add your experience points to.
Quests in this game aren\'t that important as others by doing quests you earn money (you can do a whole lot with that) and you can learn skills.
By example by doing some quests for some sort of wizard you can find out how to become a wizard same for knight and everything else:0
Then for the money, if you have enough money you can do much as I told you before... you can buy your own house, shot or place where you create things... Even a castle:)
You can own multiple shops and rent/buy npc characters to work for you in it (imagine your sitting in your office with a cigar and your npc\'s are running your shops are \"facilities\").
Also players can start their own city\'s build some houses, put a wall etc etc. As soon as their are a number of about 30 villagers you can have a city hall AND players can become mayor of the city by getting enough votes. A mayor can set the tax and put the rules and commands the city guard (one guard for each 5 villagers or summin) but when he\'s mis using his power he can be voted away and on that moment his power is gone... This system could also work in NPC city\'s but not in the Capital city where every1 starts, i will tell you why later
Now about the guilds, guilds can be for everythin. Just a few shop keepers working together in a guild or a few craftsmen...
But also a guild can become very powerfull and even controll a region, i will tell you how: when you found some powerfull people that feel like starting a guild you sign yourself in as a guild. You get a spot for your guild and you can build a guildhall or better a castle on it. Than you can own, just as all players, npc servents. Your guild can own npc soldiers!, 10 for every guildmember. On this way you can put your power over 1 or more city\'s by threatening them, to destroy there city totally. The mayor can accept your power and you become a dictator. You can set the taxes and you cant be put away. But other guilds can try and take your power and even your castle from you so you should better watch it:)
So in this world players can do what they want, just learn a profession and try to earn some money buy a shop or become a craftsmen with a own \"facility\".. or become one of the most powerful men in the world and controll whole regions and hundreds of real people and npc characters...
I hope you like my ideas, i dont know if its possible to make this but i just wanted to give you a suggestion:)
PS: i stole some ideas from SWG
