"Ashes of Recreation" - A football/soccer like recreational team-game played with in the AoC

I would like to propose a non-combat, recreational, player-skill-oriented, team or solo game that can be played in various sizes of arenas that can be built in freeholds (for small arenas) or developed nodes (for large arenas).
  • The game should be supported by a simple in-game mechanic that requires fast mouse button clicking for kicking/throwing and mouse targeting as well as player movement via keyboard.
  • The in-game mechanic should also keep track of time and score (goals).
  • Locational awareness, team-play, and collaboration should matter for the team play.
  • Player parties (up to 5) can participate as a team.
  • No goalies or special roles are needed, each player can contribute equally.
  • All players have the same set of skills once the game starts
  • Skill 1: Ability to interact with a ball for kicking or throwing
  • Skill 2: Ability to interact with other players for pushing or tackling
  • Player stats visible to all, contributing to player rankings.
  • Periodic local tournaments are held in advanced nodes with large arenas where highly ranked players and teams are invited to compete for special awards, renown, and recognition.
  • Other players can spectate these events held in any size arena and can bet in-game currency.

Such a game can build communities and immersion within Ashes of Creation. Some of our best memories are made out of these uniquely immersive experiences (in-game halls, taverns, or arenas) with a community rather than playing the actual game.

    Sounds like Huttball from SW:TOR. I played a lot of Huttball back in the day. Why groups of 5 though and not 8?

    I'm open to any size, really... Just assuming that a regular party size will be limited to 5 and why not use that as a number for convenience's sake?

    Yeah. The party sizes are 8 hence the update.

    Let's get the game released first, please.

    Yeah, any bigger-sized additions should definitely be a "later expansion" kind of thing.

    No thanks, leave that for FIFA.
