what about creating a bunch of characters inside the game then letting the player select one he(the player) would "own" that character until he or she or it dies then that character is gone for ever.


just a thought

Well, it's a fun and interesting thought, but it does add a problem -- when stupid players come in, they'll throw away their characters.

This means that a good player who wanted to use that character will now be short a potential character.

The other problem is that there'll always be a limit to the number of characters you can make that way.

In a game unlike that, you can arbitrarily create as many characters as you want and then explain their origins. In a game like your idea, you have to explain their origins first, putting a damper on how many characters you can make.


It would still be an interesting idea to consider, though!

Can I use this idea? I had an idea similar to this but not exactly like this. Mine was more of a general either heal or die idea. I like this one better.
It helps stop pking because if the world doesn't like you they won't heal you.

sure, thats why I post my ideas, so that other people can refine them and use them as they see fit ^^ thats what designers do ^_~ Its not like I copyright anything *L* ^_^


El, who would LOVE to see more of her ideas incorperated into games ^^
