Make your character an offline npc

There was a game I played a long time ago and don't remember the name. But I remember there a was a cool feature where you go in the city ,transform into a medium mushroom and players could buy what ever your selling AND you could log off and your character/mushroom would still be there for a time.

I think It could make the Node alive if players could make their characters offline and become an NPC, selling or even become guards.

Thanks for reading

Having offline player characters roaming around their hometown as ambient NPCs could be cool. Might help nodes feel distinct from one another as the actual player population would influence the makeup of the crowds.

Everyone thought that elf was just a regular NPC until the day its player logged in and broke the routine...

Player logs in... : Damn it, my character sleepwalked to the tavern, again!

That would be cool. A corrupt player logs in and is instantly killed by his other character which is a guard

I know this isn't relevant to the point, but was the game Fiesta Online by chance? If it was, that was the first online game I ever played when I was a kid and it has a super special place in my heart so I love seeing other people who know it too. If it wasn't...that's okay too...

If it was Fiesta though I know it made the cities look super messy though.
I think it'd be neat if there was like an "offline patrons" section where players that slept at an inn or something have their avatars downstairs drinking at the bar or pretending to gamble at a table.

"Hey, let's make it so that when a player logs off, others can still buy from them."
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Buuuuut..... let's turn them into a mushroom!!!"

Sounds like someone was on mushrooms during that conversation.

Yes it was! I don't remember much of the game tho, but 🍄 market yes haha. Was so much more fun than competing against Bots on the auction house (World of Warcraft..)
