IDEAS FOR RYZOM

The question is, where it starts to being a simulator...

I think some people actually do. The real question is whether "we" includes a fair percentage of what's left of our player base.
- When time degrades the toon the same way it degrades the player
- When you have to spend more time balancing your fames (work) than doing missions that may affect them (fun)
- When it includes elements of RL that those who play games as a way to step away from their troubles are trying to take a vacation from
- When a toon has to grind as hard for meager rewards as the player has to grind for a meager paycheck

In short, it becomes a simulator when it gets just a little too real.

I like to think the more older you are, the more powerfull you can be and with almost no limit until some point (like a burning star consuming itself).

This is not real life, but a world where magic do exist.

We could see old Homin like Sage with real power, guidance and wisdom.
Or dangerous Homin turned crazy from war and disillusion.
With numerous resurrection forced on their body, devouring their spirit a bit more each time.

I think it more interesting to roleplay than a simple old geezer who cannot anymore walk and soon gonna die at the Fairhaven bar.

Game play wise, we could add an option to die and give a legacy to the next character created.
Could even be with the same looking (we have the stats of our character when we create it, right in the client.log).

After a decided time (long enough), a player with roleplay tag could have an option to be forgotten at choice.
Technically it could be a selective fame reset based on the non-interaction since x given time.

In any case it is good to simulate death, old age and stats increase/decrease out of game time, and without the consent of the player.
But i would support 100% to give it as an option, and sneakly introduce RP tag in same time :P

Interesting Revvy.

But the initial proposal was to be forgotten by group of (npc) homins if we don't maintain relationship with them.

The question of getting old and sick came after.

I covered this too :)
