[WoW]Armory Myspace

brekk · 11-30-2008, 11:22 PM

So for the past week or two I've been thinking about the implications of the advancement system added to wow and the expanded functionality of the armory website.

The only step I can imagine from here is a more facebook/myspace style page for your character. For a large volume of the playerbase that I'll call the "Sim" crowd, that's much larger then the hardcore player base. Such an addition to the game would be a popular thing. I also imagine it being good for bringing in more female players.

Allow customization just like a myspace page. Though not as retarded. Achievement points can buy different shit to put on your page. Etc. Etc.

This is my claim to the idea. So blizzard I've got callsy's. Send your lawyers. $_$

Edit: Something like this would also be a cheap alternative to in game housing. Though not as cool.

Myspace should just get with Blizzard and find a way to integrate armory into peoples myspace pages. There is money to be made here I can feel the profit somehow.

Just stuff like this that was accessible via RSS and utilized by the different social sites would be spiffy - mestevo's Xbox 360 can blog Based on my online activity, it blogs as my 360, and also tracks some stats.

Hook up with these guys:
Armory Lite - The WoW Armory Alternative: Information, Simplified.

Should be relatively simple to use that framework and implement the info the way you like into Myspace/Facebook/whatever.

I'd rather see achievement points go towards character customization (glowing eyes, green fire for warlocks, etc.)
