Doesn't sound like something to look forward to. We all ready have "MMO progression" pushing new players away and preventing more from joining.
We also have "MMO Clan Wars" that don't really serve a purpose except to get EVE players to care about what we're doing. Spoiler: They don't.
Unless they're talking about like... random chance loot boxes which will give you 5x worthless consumables with the hopes of winning something slightly less terrible for $2.50 a pop. I could see CCP doing that.
Things they could do? Well, they could make monthly fees mandatory AND offer micro-transactions for the gullible. They could also give veterans more ways to abuse, grief and harass newbies and one another, that's always fun.
They could also sell us "expansion packs" every couple months that adds the same type of content we all ready own but "with a twist" to keep things fresh and exciting.
They might even add half-naked pre-teen crossdressing boys and girls into the game to compete with the Korean and Japanese MMO market.
Fetch quests.... oooo yeah. They might add fetch quests that can be repeated daily to improve your standing with a faction to unlock shoulderpads for your merc that are bigger than your torso.
They might even add a "breasts" slider and jiggle physics for female mercs; I bet the kids would love that. Hell, give the males breasts and jiggle physics too; CCP's own twist on the MMO genre.
Oh the list goes on for things they could add to make this game more "MMO-like".
And finally, to top it off, CCP could put a literal sandbox in every map. One that you can interact with and move things around. Also there's cords that connect to EVE while EVE players STILL don't give a **** about what we're doing. The only interaction is them telling us this game should be more like EVE and that we're inferior for playing on a ten year old machine. They also ask us to stop playing in their sandbox all the time. Oh man! The level of interaction with EVE will be FANTASTIC! I will have sand in my virtual backside ALL THE TIME with that feature!
Also yes, hyperbole, sarcasm and maybe a little bit of inappropriate for good measure. Basically MMOs aren't that great, and I hope they don't look at other games and try to emulate them.
Sorry to Bump this thread after weeks of nothingness.....
MMO doesn't mean giggly boobs to most people and it sure doesn't mean it to CCP. What I meant in my post when I said I wanted more MMO is freedom. I want to be to play but not necessarily fight all the time just to try and make cash. Suppose I can get given a mission that takes place on a world in lowsec that happens to be contested, while i'm carrying out my mission someone is fighting over the other side of a hill - I might have had to pilot my ship around your battle to get to my landing site and risk getting shot down.
Maybe I can sit on said hill having tracked someone to that world who has a bounty on him and blow his head off from 150m while he is doing something else (a mission of some sort) as a bounty hunter style merc that has been paid to do a hit.
I hope this game can be more than a couple of rooms and a combat field (as I stated in my previous post) and become more open - That's an MMO to me. Not boobs.
