    I'm not sure what you're talking about. Perhaps you reiterate your thought process in words. I assume you want to create the game where: 1. Players ran their own auctions and didn't have a AH. So you are forced to stand in some central area spamming chat for bids on an item. 2. You...

    That is a long diatribe for saying that creating conflict or decision processes forms social bonds. First of all, you can't use real life examples like you did because when you have actual human contact you're already 100 steps ahead of anything you can do in the game. You're no long...

    They are interactive worlds, you and a few people around you are working towards completing in game objectives. You are interacting by being around each other in the game world. The fact that they are not talking to you is meaningless. If you want to talk to people then join a guild or...

    I've talked to the Sr Producer a few times and they've gotten the whole "What if Syfy cancels.." question a lot. Essentially they designed the game to work independently of the show and they don't need the show to work. Obviously that would be their worst case scenario. Anyway, it's B2P...

    If I were you, I'd pay very close attention to what GW2 will be doing in the next 6 months. I know they didn't develop open world dungeons, but they did develop a pretty good open world PVE experience. The have all the public grouping systems in place as well as the de-leveling system that...

    Actually WOW's dungeon finder allowed the game to come to it's peak during WOTLK. SWTOR saw a mass exodus because it was a shitty game, but the game might of staved off the exodus with a better LFG tool. SWTOR's problems were many.

    See this is a different conversation to have. If you build a game with zero instancing, LFG tools can't really be automated. But with open world dungeons, you can begin creating completely different game systems that begin with Public Grouping in WAR and evolve into what GW2 does. For...

    Yeah but that compromise is silly. The only compromising factor is cross server or not and instant dungeon teleport or not. Now you can create more complicated systems to assist people in looking for a group if you really hate the idea of auto-lookup. You can create different UI elements that...

    LFG are hardly used? Really? They are some of the most heralded and popular tools ever introduced into the modern MMO market. You're also ignoring reality when it comes to leveling dungeons. Assume they are the best things since sliced bread and you love doing them. You put together a...

    What? You're ignoring history here. Just look at WOW from a statistical point of view when they introduce their grouping tools. You can make the best dungeons in the history of dungeons, but if you're forming a group and it's taking you forever to find a healer or tank you're gonna get pissed...

    That is not the case what so ever. If anyone could find a group for a specific dungeon in a few minutes in any game, no one would ever of created a LFG tool, let alone a cross server one. In fact, reality is much different. Hell, even in WOW, if you're dps it takes more than a few minutes to...

    That's just artificially gating things for no reason what so ever. Why would you want to gate access to a LFG tool though?

    I agree, but proper iteration and design isn't a "high risk". A high risk would be a complete overhaul of all gaming elements and putting out something completely unique. SWTOR could of been amazingly successful if they spent their resources differently. You can go to any SWTOR thread on any...

    You just spit out a bunch platitudes that mean absolutely nothing. What you wrote sounds warm and fuzzy but really doesn't have any bearing on design. If you have a typical game where you have your population split between Leveling and End-Game-Stuff then your Leveling content will be...

    If I had to guess, something like this happened: The money people went to board meetings and said, "Here is a ton of money, we want to be successful like WOW, so make a WOW game." The studio managers went, "Ok!". The developers and designers, who probably weren't very imaginative, made a...

    Rift, even when it had a very very healthy population, first implemented a server only-LFG tool. I was somewhat a failure because groups sometimes never formed. Once it went cross-server dungeons popped pretty often. SWTOR was another one that had the same problem. Forget arguing whether...

    It has been shown now with two games with decent populations that a server only LFG tool does not work at all. You need some sort of critical mass for it to work. In any game that has levels, where you can hit max level in 30-60 hours, you will never have enough people on a single server to...

    How much would you pay for a Rerolled.org Subscription? I'll make a deal with you. If you can get 80% of the people here to pay for a subscription, say $5 a month, I'll put everything back the way it was. As soon as the subscription numbers dip like WOW-Cata, I'll have to nerf access.
