I and a few of my companions are deep into brainstorming for our new MMO we are making, I can't tell you the name or anything about it yet as the boss told me not to tell anyone about this game...

Anyway, I need ideas and so do the guys so I'm on a little 'recon mission' :P

What i need you guys for is:


What do you hate about most MMO's?

tell me all the problems you find with MMO's, apart from payment lol.
(oh and try to avoid talking about a specific MMO unless your just using it as an example)

Many MMOs are almost purely combat based, and to get anywhere, you've gotta be good at killing things. They don't include any sort of real working economy, and any artisan based character won't ever be looked upon as 'decent'. I always found it fun to play as artisan type characters, but because they have low combat levels, they're seen as terrible.

An example of what I'd see as good is what is in Goonzu - Where your level ISN'T purely combat based, where all your skills are pooled together for your total level.

I hate Click to Go only. When you have to move or attack you have to click where you want to go or what you want to attack/interact.
I prefer Arrows Controled, Mouse for Turning and Clicks for attack/interact.

I've played a fairly great amount of MMO's.
So, besides payment, I don't like low lvl ups... Like after 2 months your still lvl 15/100 even if playing everyday...
That's what I hate the most I think.

I like some variety on char. creation, not just every class is the same.

I agree with him. Something with maximum level like 20, like Guild Wars, or fast lvl up. And a vast character creation. Like jaw, nose, mouth, teeth, hair color/type, eyes, eyebrows....And much others.

me realy hate the UI in some games. for in example you got games like RS and you got games like WoW. Also ROleplaying would be cool. That you talk the way your character does.

i hate quests.i mean REALLY!you have to kill , like 1.942.153 boars just to rip an eye off...AND you only really have to do''bring me this and that","kill this and that" and ''go there and there'' quests,wich SUCK.
That is all.

It depends of the quests.

I have to say I hate MMO where there's no customization. There should be a fair amount of physical character creation, and each class or character type should have many possible ways to play as it. You know, like different things to specialize in.

I hate MMOs where every single shield/gun/sword looks exactly the same when you equip it.
