    Related question:
    
    Is that level nonzero?
    
    More precisely, do players NEED new content? Or do we just *think*
    they do?

    I've been saying this for years. Just because the SERVER scales
    doesn't mean the GAME does. ;)
    
    > Ultimately, a MMORPG world cannot survive on developer-created

    Automatic generation is something I've been working with. The basic
    concept is that a stable pseudo-RNG is seeded with location-specific
    data. This produces a consistent result, without requiring
    everything to be saved. Essentially, the area is generated, the
    player does whatever he's doing, and if he doesn't alter the area
    there's no need to save it. We can generate it all over again if we
    need to. In this fashion, there's no need to limit the size of the
    world -- it can extend forever.
    
    The major *problem* with this is what there is to DO in those
    areas. The medieval model doesn't work well here, because it just
    plain can't keep up without being totally unrealistic. In order to
    maintain player interest in the game without resorting to PvP, you
    would need a major land war. Wars that last forever generally aren't
    too realistic. ;)
    
    That's why I prefer a SF setting... where a war *can* last
    forever. In game terms, an inexhaustible enemy that can never be
    ultimately defeated -- but presents a distinct and immediate threat
    -- demands ongoing resistance.

    > exceptional.
    
    Why not design around this concept? Everyone in the game is
    exceptional, because the players are the only people who exist. To
    be there in the first place is to be exceptional. There are two
    kinds of people in the game:
    
    - Heroes, the last hope of humanity. (players)
    
    - Evil bastards who want to kill us all. (NPCs)
    
    > I personally believe that a MMORPG cannot survive without

    I think we could probably go so far as to say that a *game* cannot
    survive without conflict.
    
    > So I'm curious, first, to see whether I'm completely off the mark

    My current project involves an ongoing war between humanity and an
    extradimensional alien force. We can't get to their dimension, but
    they can get to ours. It's a "hold the fort" scenario: your job is
    to help resist the invasion. We can't invade *back*, we can only
    keep them at bay. This war is, by nature, eternal.
    
    All tools provided to the players are directed toward resisting the
    invasion, both by colonising planets and altering the basic
    structure of the game universe. The universe is also fluid after a
    sense, and alters itself over time even if the players leave it
    alone. A single determined player can map the universe without much
    difficulty... but by the time he finishes, the map will be out of
    date. This also allows the universe to be expanded and collapsed
    dynamically as more players enter the game. All of this is
    accomplished automatically.
    
    The player's "character" is ostensibly a trained pilot of a remote
    warship. This warship, in the interest of simplicity and
    conservation of bandwidth, is controlled via encrypted interstellar
    link using an archaic text-based command system. In short, your
    character is a guy typing at a computer to direct a warship he's
    never seen. Talk about immersion. ;)
    
    Since all actual activity is carried out by automated systems, there
    is no "death". There is only destruction of the warship. This
    involves a delay while a new one is prepared, which takes several
    months in-game. (The in-game clock counts off an hour every ten
    seconds, for a four-minute day and a two-hour month. Each real world
    day maps to a full year in-game.) All ships are identical, but may
    be outfitted with an array of specialised systems at the discretion
    of the captain.
    
    There is no prohibition of PvP hostilities, and a great many systems
    are available which directly support ship-to-ship combat. A team
    organisation is inherently supported, and there are clear benefits
    to forming teams.
    
    The computer controlled enemy, incidentally, holds grudges. Those
    who resist most successfully are individually targeted for
    retaliation. Sometimes the enemy can be pretty damned devious and
    nasty, and it is actually possible for the enemy to win --
    hopefully, on only a temporary basis.
    
    The key to all of this is that the internal representation of the
    game universe is VERY simple, and there are a sufficiently limited
    number of options that the enemy can be reliably scripted in a
    decent fashion without limiting the options so drastically that the
    players are without flexibility. This means, of course, that the
    players can script the game just as well... which is expected.
    
    The really evil part is that whatever a player scripts in the game
    can be used just as effectively by the enemy, so when people write
    really effective scripts... the game's admins can steal them and
    give them to the enemy. ;)
