: yeah the only multiplayer online game I'd be interested
: in is Myth. It would be a lot of fun though.
To be Myth it'd need to be focused around small-army PvP warfare, which (it seems, from my limited experience with MMORPGs) is pretty hard to motivate, balance and pull off technically.
Plus, the inevitable high body-count of Myth warfare doesn't make for long-lived characters...unless you corrupt Myth's story by adding some sort of reincarnation mechanism.
It's not an impossible task, I'm sure. But at heart I think Myth's philosophy is a bit too bleak and realistic for a MMORPG, where every player expects to be a hero.
Not that I wouldn't want to be a Level 99 Wight.
