    I have to agree that a MMORPG can not survive with developer created
    content alone. To me the answer lies within the entire design of
    the game server. Questing engines are not even close to what they
    need to be to accomplish what you are getting at. AI needs to
    provide not only good combat decision making, but it needs to
    provide better peace-time decision making. In Ultima VII or VIII,
    Origin introduced the ability for NPCs to live out their lives using
    a script. The Sims allows NPCs to make a decision based upon needs.
    This beginning needs to be expanded upon. In the Sims, there was
    very little feeling that the NPCs were trying to achieve something
    other than filling their lowest need. NPCs need goals and using
    these goals they need option to achieve them. Connect this with the
    questing engine and you could achieve a potential content generator
    that will out pace even your most starving and tired players. To
    me, the key lies in taking the current foundation and adding many
    more layers of complexity and depth to it. Then you have to turn
    around and make that complexity add more complexity and depth and
    automate the generation of personalized encounters for your entire
    player base. Easier said than done.

    Heroes by the standard in today's MMORPG means the guy with the
    biggest weapon and best armor defeating some nasty mob. To a
    limited extent in UO it can be playing the most skilled smith or the
    best tailor but these are most definately seen as substandard
    heroes. In the future MMORPGs, need to provide many positions to
    become the definitive person in your position. Trade positions,
    Knights, Political positions(requires in-game ownership and a slew
    of other systems), and Knowledge positions all must be defined
    within the game. Players must be able to measure themselves in many
    different ways and measure others accordingly. Geographic
    boundaries should exist and allow there to be multiple people of the
    same level of expertise.
    
    Your pyramid of power and notoriety needs to have a broader point at
    the top allowing it to serve a wider base of aspiring players.
    Sadly in EQ, there really is only one goal, be the best combatant in
    the land. This leaves about 10 positions(one per class) at the top
    of this pyramid with 2500 - 3000 people striving to be there.
    Guilds have relatively little meaning and own absolutely nothing so
    the positions at the head or as an officer have very little meaning.
    Any notoriety usually comes to the Uber guilds that have
    combatted(word?) the biggest and baddest monsters in the game.
    Being the best jeweler in the game is certainly profitable, but it
    carries no significance in the social world except as an inexpensive
    guild service. We look at the geniuses in our world in awe and
    wonder how they withstood the time and effort required to become
    masters of their craft. In EQ and from what I know of AC this will
    never be the case because these professions mean nothing to the top
    eschelon of players if they don't relate to combat. A player with
    this profession is looked at as nothing more than a vending machine
    with feelings.(i.e. you can't hit it when it won't take your dollar
    bill)

    One non-complete solution could be to create player driven in-game
    content. Allow guilds to give out quests. Allow players to have
    vendors and create an entire trading simulation in the background.
    Connect this to your quest system and let the NPC vendors hand out
    quests to players when they run low on a good. Connect this with
    the NPC AI and allow the NPC to make decision based on goals. Allow
    those goals to be focused on a player.(ie impress my boss type stuff
    or even undermine his business) If done right, the entire trade
    system in your game could be one massive autogenerated content that
    the players established and control. Connect it to your economy
    right and it can be a large money sink as well.(the MUD admin in me
    rears its ugly head.)

    I do not think you are off the mark. Of everything I mentioned
    above, I will adjust my statement by saying that the games out there
    today have done a good job, given the business aspect of the new
    MMORPG genre. There will come a time where producing the next
    MMORPG will be a 100 million dollar affair. Technology constraints
    and communication pipes won't be the dominating constraint on the
    technology. What the games industry hasn't figured out yet, is that
    a virtual world that is as immersive as the real world could
    generate billions in revenue. The genre hasn't proven itself yet
    and business is still under the impression that this is a niche
    market with very little future once the FAD dies. As a result, the
    budgets for these multiplayer games have only been like the budgets
    for single player games. Give me 20 - 50 million and I can make you
    a game that will do all of this that I describe above. (well myself
    and a very large team could.) Its amazing what gigabit LAN
    backbones, Sun E10000 clusters and the most talented
    programmers/content creators could do for this genre. I am hoping
    that soon there will be a MMORPG that has an infrastructure behind
    it placing it in the top 25 most powerful datacenters in the world.
    (Were talking rivaling what it takes to get UPS online, NASDAQ,
    NYSE, or run any of the supercomputing research centers in the
    world.) When the technology aspect of the design process is no
    longer the only concern you will see what you have asserted to.
    
    Removing his vision goggles and getting firmly grounded in the grim
    present. Derek
