Stop it with the moving targets. Okay, quake-based games
now.. *sigh* In that case still, I think you might be
underestimating the work required if you want the content level of
games built on the quake engine as something to have every 6 months
in your resets.

Hey, I might have a freak accident with a saw blade tomorrow and
loose a few fingers. Just because I adapt to it doesn't mean I like
it. If you want to believe your players are of such high calibre
that they'll always adapt, then all the more power to ya!

Yup, it's a toy brand AND a magic word. ;) I use it as a
description for a certain mentality. One that I'm sure you know
just as well as everybody on this list.

Hey, I thought you're the one who wants a discussion on the reset
idea. If by discussion, you meant total agreement, then sorry for
posting at all on this thread. But I'd like to think about what an
idea's advantages/disadvantages are. I'm currently criticizing your
argument's supposition that "you can massively improve the world and
relaunch every six months".
I already formulated a niche where a variant of this idea would
work, but your comments above are not at all helpful in expanding
that to MOGs in general. If that is the intent, so be it.
The answers you've given me so far avoided any concrete specifics
when it comes to supporting the 'improve' portion. On one hand, you
point to quake variants, which take far more than six months to
develop on top of the base engine. Then conversely, you give
simcity as an example, which decidedly is on the lower end of
flexibility/content change.
If you're not sure, then that's fine. No need to get personally
defensive about it.

Okay, so if this is for the newbies, then why get worked up about my
earlier supposition that people don't like change or that this? If
newbies are the target, there's no change there as they wouldn't
have been exposed to your game earlier now would it.
