  • Just a thought, why arent there more mini-games in MMORPG?  It would seem like such an easy thing to implement.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Yeah, they all have gay stuff like fishing, but what about a gambling town where you can ply cards with your cash, or archery/shotting ranges, or race tracks and things like that? If people just quit copying the popular MMORPG and used their head there could be some fun things in the new MMOG's.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>probably because MMORPG makers wisely realize that minigames are pointless? But at least EQ2's going with the 'tradeskill as minigame' route, and maybe there's more games that do that that I don't know about.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'd enjoy something like that. but it would have to be better than horse races and crap....I could picture having a casino where you could sit 8 people at a poker table and do stuff like that but races and stuff....nah</div>
