| Hey, it's been like 2 months since we last had one of these!
First off, read the other 6 threads by 'developers' looking for insight into the gaming mind.
Done? Good. Now go read the 300 threads by players regarding your question. I suggest the Eve thread for good reading on what 'innovation' really is. Then go read the Green Monster Games (or whatever the hell they're calling themselve snow) for more insight. Finally, go read every post by Aradune from during his days at Sigil so you learn what it means to fail at keeping promises. The LOTRO and Tabula Rasa threads are a great source of information on how to make a relatively interesting low end game but fail considerably at high end games.
Now go over to Elitist Jerks and read all the threads there. Tons of information on how and why to make your end game entertaining. Bring a cup of coffee as people tend to get long winded and aren't nearly as entertaining as the content they discuss.
Done?
Alright, now on to business.
Who are you and who do you work for? I don't mind waxing intellectual about MMO's...but I wasted 4~5 hours doing the same shit with Brad back during the Sigil days and we all know how that turned out. Wasting good ideas on a shitty development team makes me sick.
