It does sound neat, and would probably work on most muds... but on mmorpgs
like AC, it's a bloody disaster. I mean, if there are thousands and
thousands of players and all of them are just part of the big nameless,
faceless crowd, then a LOT of them are going to want - more than spells
that work even - to be recognized as Somebodies.
And the killer is, it doesn't take a lot of them to publish the info to
everyone - it just takes one.
I dunno what they were thinking, but this just seemed like a "wow cool
idea, now how is the WORST possible way we could implement it? I know!
We'll use STATIC DATA! And we'll make the PLAYERS learn and share the
spell formulas instead of having their CHARACTERS do it! We rock!"
I think they should apply the idea to all the skills: Visit one website to
become a better warrior, hit this other website for more rogue skills...
Maybe do a promotion with link-exchange where you improve your hit points
by visiting the sponsor's site...
Oh man... Now I have sarcasm all over my keyboard.
