Pioneers Of MMORPGs Discuss Genre Evolution

Posted by simoniker on Friday October 3, 2003 @04:38AM from the more-text-less-graphics dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for their new article charting the pioneers of MMORPG gaming, and discussing with them the "major quantum leaps" needed "to grow from two million North American MMORPG gamers to ten million." MUD co-creator Richard Bartle argues that "...so many MMORPGs have become so intently focused on automating and artificially motivating players to engage in the game-world that at times, the experience feels a little too 'Disneyfied.'" The solution, the article suggests, is to focus on "more human elements", "more life and realism into AI-driven NPCs", and stress "user-generated content" in the next generation of MMO titles.

Role Playing is for Faggots by Anonymous Coward · 2003-10-03 04:47 · Score: -1, Troll

Role playing is for faggots. I mean, jesus christ, roll those fucking dice, right? If you roll 2 six-sided die, and you get a number between 2 and 36, YOU'RE A FUCKING LOSER!!! You will die alone, a fat unemployed virgin. Fuck off with this role-playing shit. Why don't you fucktards try role-playing yourself an actual dick and then take it out and bang some sluts, you fucking morons.
