From Multiverse
As a mmorpg enthusiasts we all have a mental image of our perfect mmorpg, and I hope to realize mine through the multiverse technology.
Some of the more important things to me in this project are:
I believe that a lot of things are ruined by level differences and I want to minimize those aspects while still retaining goals and benefits of gaining levels.
1) The guild/grouping/questing community aspect of the game are very important should not break down due to level differences. My brother-in-law used to play with me on the same server, but he had about four times the amount of available playtime as me, so in order for us to play together he had to keep a separate alternate character that did not outpace me, but wasnt really the character he would rather be playing.
3) I generally believe in a self policing free for all PvP system, and think that by splitting up pve and pvp servers you put all of the bad apple pvp'ers in one place, and thereby destroy any chance you have at a self policing environment. Also by dynamically adjusting combat between participants in pvp I hope to avoid having one ultra high level evil faction pvp'er being able to wipe out an entire town of new players (which would happen alot in Asherons Call).
4) Equipment level restrictions, this has the most potential to wreck games for me even if they get everything else right. Say at level 1 you start out with a bronze sword, then at level 5 you have to upgrade to a iron sword, and at level 7 you need to use a steel sword to stay competitive. Then everyone has essentially the same equipment at the same levels because you have to upgrade to actually play the game. What if your favorite model and texture for a sword was the iron sword at level 5, then not only do you look like everyone else, but you also dont get to play with the weapon you liked the look of.
Now a request for volunteer team members. On the technical side I should be fine with server setup and scripting, but I severly lack in artistic talent for 3d modelling/texturing/animation.
