Let's just get rid of open world pvp and focus the saved effort on the best MMO content instead:
Instanced Dungeons and Raids.

    People might also get upset at not being able to craft as well as someone else, so we should probably also get rid of the Artisan Professions.

    Thanks. I didn't consider that.
    While we are at it, wanna get rid of the class system as they will inevitably end up inbalanced anyway?

    Would help with the names that some people don't like. We could just be called "Adventurer".

    And then there's Races, too. How about one race called "Verran"?


    And, we could just have one node for the whole server, so no-one has to be in a slightly smaller one than someone else.

    I could assume that this hilarious sarcasm/trolling...

    ... but there's no tone of voice, so I have to assume that you are serious. and say..
    NO
    There's nothing "Massive" about 40 player instanced raid content, that is just multiplayer online. It's only massive when it's truly open world. If you remove open world PvP then the interaction between players could have been resolved in a lobby screen for a lot less effort.

    It's okay to admit that you're scared of PvP. If I pass you this doll, can you show us where he/she touched you?
    :wink:

    It seems like "Ashes of Creation, the text adventure" is the natural conclusion for this discussion.

    I want a raid that is in a raid that you have to raid to raid.

    In my experience, text adventures had too many options and you'd always get locked out of certain things because you didn't know which option to choose.

    I think they should limit the choices to just 1 so you can never get lost.
    I wish I were deep and tragic

    That is a book.

    ...and they are too long.

    I just want a inspirational sentence about fantasy to get my day going.

    I think this game would be best if we didn't have any skills, abilities, races or classes. Just one blank vanilla race with the ability to walk, jump, and swing your feet. Oh yeah, and not loot, cause if we have loot people will want to see it or take it from us.

    Definitely would be my vote for the BEST MMORPG ever!

    Oh.. and a text adventure would be nice as well... as then people couldn't discriminate against the color or looks we choose for our character :)

    Nice try tulnar, but there's already fanfics of the Underground lit brightly by your cities nests engulfed in firey destruction.

    It seems like we've generated the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch for MMORPGs, so...

    "Aye, well we called it a book, but it were more like a leaflet."
    "Leaflet? Luxury! We had a MMORPG postage stamp, which we read by candle light every night..."
    "You had candle light?!"
    ...

    I kinda like the idea of not everyone being able to craft something and having to rely on the crafters to sell them, but that also means inflation and high prices

    OP I totally agree with you this whole corruption, open world, non-consensual pvp plan is a disappointment for a game with so much potential. I will not play this game until this is changed.

    Don't let the trolls and gankers deter our fight for what is right. They don't want a great game just more victims to gank and tears to harvest. They just don't realize they have already chased a large portion of their victims.

    So sad to see a lot of people agreeing with the OP.
    There are already plenty of MMORPG with instanced dungeons/raids only.
    Why do you want the same things in AoC too ?

    If this gamedesign is so cooooooooool, why are you here, looking for a new MMORPG ?

    the game design is so good, that's why all similar projects in the past failed.
    Instead, they could just make a modern version of wow and guarantee success

    Especially when the OP made that post with complete contempt and sarcasm!!! :)

    What I think is more unbelievable is the amount of people who actually believed what he posted.

    Most of the responses are additional trolling. They aren't being serious.

    There lots of people that like PvP ton actually but there are certain number that do not like PvP ....that really dislike getting ganked. Game Design Crew at Ashes of Creation Implemented Corruption to Decrease ganks but still possible.
