To above, sorry, didn't know that shit existed in UO, never played.
And yes, you may be right. That shit may absolutely suck in VG. But I am saying that I read or heard about all of that stuff in relation to VG at one point or another. My point wasn't that VG mastered it all, just that I don't think certain things it presented should be cast aside or mocked simply because VG failed with them.
I believe it was another thread where a very similiar discussion was taking place and someone brought up myspace, and the difference between an online game and world. It is my hope that as technology and practice improve the two will no longer be seperate. Want to just log in and have a myspace like chat room, or profile? Fine. Want to log on and kill the dragon and hang his head outside your tavern in town? Fine!
I think that the combination of all of these things, and the slow transition from a game into a world is going to be amazing and I hope I'm alive to see it. It's sad, but it would almost be better if there were some kind of monopoly in this regard(so long as said monopoly is so because it is the best, not just bought out). Whatever, I'm rambling now, but VG being a bad/shitty/poor game if that is your opinion shouldn't distract from some of the good things it at least attempted to present to us players.
