Ok, this is a pretty complex game, and I doubt if I will ever be in the position to create it. Well, I have played alot of MMORPG games, and one thing I noticed people wanted to do was PvP. They wanted to capture castles and fight large battles. The only thing nobody wanted to do was level up. Anyway, putting together a large group of people and going out somewhere is a total pain in the butt. The battles were always one-sided by a large margin too. Anyway, why not create a FPS that is sort of like a MMORPG in style? No leveling, no questing, just battles for castles. One side would assualt the castle and see if they can take it, and the other would defend it. When the castle is taken (like you get to a flag, or kill the lord), the teams switch places and see who can do it the quickest. If you used some kind of networking technology the supported a large amount of players like the Tribes 2 engine, then you could have the servers user created. I would think that 30 on each side would be enough people to have a blast. You could have catapults, battling rams, molotov coctails, archers, ladders, and other stuff. You could have the seige engines take damage, and require some sort of engineer to repair them, the same goes for castle gates, or devices used to operate it. It just sounds like a game I would love to play, and I wish someone would develope it. Heh, or maybe I gain enough skill, money, and help to do it. Anyway, I think most people would agree that it would be a game worth playing.
