The World

As i said in the Big Idea, the world would always be changing countries would have new rulers and wars would ravage the land. But it more to me than that stuff, i would want the world to be the innovation on this game. When some one logs in i do not want them to know for sure what is gong to happen, maybe there could be a trolloc raid in the town they are in or darkfriends could try and attack you. But as in some games i do not want this to be a regular this, like after you complete this quest 10 monsters run out and you have to kill them. i would want the raids and attacks to be independent of any thing except where the story is at that point. My main goal for this would be, i do not want every ones experience with the game to be the same, even if they start them in the same starting area and same class decisions i want the world to shape there experience not what quests there are. Just think how different the would would be to someone starting a character at launch and then starting one say around Lord of Chaos time period, i mean i think the replay value on this game would be great, because you would never experience the same game twice. I think if this is done right you will keep people longer with there subscriptions and more people will come back after canceling there subscriptions because it will be the not knowing what might happen tomorrow that will bring people back. A huge army of Seanchan might attack and unless you know the story you would miss it.

The Big Idea

So i was thinking, how would this game be any different than any of the other games out now. And i came to the conclusion that if had to be fundamentaly different to make it big in the MMORPG world. So i had the idea that in stead of having a game that took place during a specific point in the games why not have them follow what happens in the books. like when the game first comes out we are starting where Rand starts his journy, not saying every one is in the Two Rivvers, but time wise that is where the game starts out. for the First few mounths the game would be a basic sand box fantasy MMO, allowing people to get a feel of the world and the history, but then the call for the hunt would happen in Illian an you could go there and so on. When big battles happen in the book they happen in the world, and as you play the game the world changes. It makes me so mad that after 4 years of WoW thoese pesple in westfall still have not fixxed the Inn. The game would work on a time line, i had the idea that you could go to inns and listen to rumors to see where you are in the story, and if you see one of these book events you could sell what you saw to inn keepers for money. more to come on...
