(Sorry, I'm using Google Translate, I'm French.)
I'm a huge RPG fan, since childhood I'm currently 24, have 488 games, and have pretty much all of the best RPGs since 2006. All that to say I'm passionate about it. And Roleplay is also part of it!
The game has great potential!
That's why I think adding more content, or at least some RP functionality, would make the game even more unique.
This would attract niche gamers, as well as increase the depth of the game =)
Here are a few ideas, which I think would have a place in any MMORPG worthy of the name :
- First, a customizable character sheet. Which would have no bearing on the gameplay, but which would strengthen social contacts between players. Like Total Rp (Addon) on Wow.
Where there is First Name, Last Name, Age, Description, Job, etc.
- Although it is detail, the simple fact of being able to sit on a chair or elsewhere (In various positions) allows PR situations. Being able to support one another against a wall, fold one's arms, walk, shake hands, etc. The more details like this, the more possible and enjoyable the PR will be!
- Being able to create private phases. Allows certain places to remain only RP, without having non-Rp players who can disturb. It is also very useful in the Guild for quiet talking.
- There is never enough, and yet character customization is CRUCIAL to stand out from the crowd. Make as many hairstyles as possible, as many different colors as possible, as many faces, details, tattoos, scars, eyes, beards, etc ... is essential
- Collectable objects which are used for various things, for example to find a book on the LORE, to be able to read it obviously, but also to add it to his personal library in his house. Not only does it allow knowledge to be stored in a more traditional way (rather than a basic interface), but in addition there is this feeling of satisfaction when our libraries are full! =)
I dream of a game that offers this, and in my opinion I'm not the only one.
With that alone, I think the game would far outperform others in terms of RP features.
Do not hesitate to come up with your ideas yourself.
