… and let there be life!
Over at Gamasutra they’re talking about what idle MMORPG-characters do. Well, they do nothing. So why not make some new ideas;
Here’s what I’d like to see: instead of Vanille Ice and all the millions of unused characters sitting on their collective tookuses, why not imagine that each day they venture forth and do some low-level crime fighting (orc slaying, etc.) just to, you know, “stay in shape”. Now this workout wouldn’t actually happen in any way visible to players logged on, but these characters would earn nominal amounts of experience each day. And in three months time, presto, a new level.
We think: GRRREAT IDEA!
