| AC2 only redeeming feature is exactly what you mention. Though they add more each month there is a limit.
What you're talking about reminds me of a few good MUD's, a system that ProgressQuest spoofs. Personally I think it's a great idea, especially when it's tied in to different catagories with different rewards. Quests for local/regional/kingdom faction along with all your generic fare of quests.
Someday I'd like to see a mmorpg branch out into minigames. Imagine a Norrath with Fooziball, a zone with hockey-like game in which Tanks make up the blockers, Rangers and Druids are Recievers. Or even a Gladitorial Arena with a running script allowing players to sign up and be sorted according to level then given the option of being summoned when their scheduled turn was up.
Well, someone creative can think of something. But without becoming "SimQuest", there should be ways to compete beyond the obvious Fantasy goals, loot, loot, and oh yeah, loot. |
