Think about it: Mount & Blade in a MMORPG Format

[Phantom_Assassin]

Think about it!

You've got a midevil/fantasy MMORPG. You combine M&B's combat system, in one massive enviroment with no "battleground zones" with user created guilds, and massive charges! What could be better!

And it's realistic, it's doable!

No, not really, the lag in collision detection would take the fun out of the combat, thereby taking away m&b's main source of fun.

It would be a twitch-based MMORPG, which makes no sense financially (ie: getting as many people to buy and subscribe to the game for a long time) since it would reward those players that have the best internet connection and machine running the game.

Not very conducive to having a ton of people playing when you get pwned by a schmuck with a good conn because your IP has a few ms extra latency.

Bad idea, BAD!
