Lust

In case you haven't been to the news section of mmosite then breaking news, adult mmorpg's are here. Of course is not enough to look up the skirts of other players' virtual avatars, now you can have sex with them with your virtual avatar on the center of the most populated town in the game.

There was a recent article in mmosite, that talked about a pedophile ring in Second-Life where underage avatars perfomed sexual acts for a price.

Gluttony

This guys just can't get enough, wither it is gathering resources until they need to make mule accounts to hold their ever-growing inventory or just buying their item of choice out of every player in the market; they just can't have enough. They rarely ever spend on anything, they rather sit for 10 minutes while their health/mana recovers than spending  2 potions.

Greed

Money, it doesn't matter if your game calls it Adena, Penya, Gold, Coins, Dalant, the more these guys have the better. There are guilds made based on a in-game business model, where their main mission is to make gold.

 Here are the gold buyers who support our beloved gold farmers, they are willing to trade their mom's purse money for in-game currency.

When you deploy an online game, you will need a server that will process all the world changes, and will provide each client (player) with the static world. When your game program is sloppy, even if there are few people logged in the server there would be lag. There are providers with dedicated servers, they charge around $200 Dlls a month plus a setup fee. For launching a commercial game, it might take hundreds of servers to maintain an even player/server distribution. Imagine the entire 9 million WoW players jam-packed into 10 servers.

Quests

Content sometimes is a reason for debate between players, but nevertheless is a vital part of the role playing experience of your players. Think about what would happen if you made 90% if your quests in the form “Kill X number of Y type of mob and then come claim your reward”, this is where your creative member of the team, or your own creativity plays an important part.

Economy

Trust me, even writing the title of this section made me yawn. Even if you are not a merchant type of player, you will have to deal with the economy balance. I’m certainly not going to going into economy design details, but you have to keep this in mind. Th

Introduction

Through several months of mmorpg forum skimming I've come across the same sentence quite a few times, and since I am an evil minion I believe it is my duty to open the eyes of these players, which I presume are young and did not even mind Googling it at least.

They say:

"I want to make my own games, I want to make something like/better than WoW".

"I want to make games", it almost sounds fun just to say it, but lets face it, it's easier said than done. Well, now that you know why I am writing this, let's get started shall we?

Design

Just like any other Hollywood Movie, game creation starts at the storyboard, here is where the brainstorming begins. First you have to decide what theme is the game going to have, is it going to be a Sci-Fi shooter, a War shooter, an urban thief, or perhaps a fantasy world with huge dragons and titanic castles.

The artists make several sketches, and develop each character. They also design the architecture of the buildings and all the items we find inside a game. The artist then make rotoscopes, these are what 3D artists use as a base to design their models. The basic building block for a model is called a polygon,

MMORPG's Suggestion Forums

These days, going through several mmorpg's official forums, I've come across several "Suggestion" sections. While reading, I have been bewildered by the amount of input players post, I suddenly became interested in this suggestion areas, and then started scouting them more objectively.

Do you want to know what a game is lacking?, then head to the suggestion box.Here I list the 3 main categories I could recognize in the posts, I'm sorry if you are offended, please take it with good humor.

The Designers

From proposing new maps, to transcoding the fantasy game into a Sci-Fi, everything needs a makeover, their main focus is more graphical content because they are bored sick of the same graphics over and over again. The dead end comes when they are playing a game that is no longer under development, usually it's because it is another Korean/Chinese mmorpg that was released a year ago or more.

The Overriders

These guys fire an underwater torpedo to override some game restriction that prevent them for being more powerful, having a better guild or anything of the sort. Moreover, to acquire some virtual good for free that the game is selling for real money.
