For all reasons i've previously mentioned, I'd rather see M&B as a casual multiplayer than a MMO, ust like diablo 2 (non-official servers): you can play it single-player and use the very same character while playing online. Anyway, it'd be great fun to play m&b with, say, 8 players maximum. There's definetly no MMO perspective for M&B.

Granted, changes would have to be made. The design couldn't be ported as-is...I don't think anybody would claim that it could be. But it's a good base for a MMOG. It could be done, I think.
There could be activities for peasants to engage in while they're waiting to be recruited, for example. Or maybe they'd get assigned immediately to an army or something. In any case, yeah, the stripping of game freedom is part of the game. Like I said, you've got to earn your stripes. If you don't want to, you'll go play something else.

pfff....narrow minded, unimaginative guy you are :p
I think some people are confusing certain game designs with the title Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
It's all about a proper design to start with, learning from other games failures and successes..and think of something different

Get your facts straight, dude. MMO means hundreds or even thousands of players playing together, how could that work on m&b?
Plus, you'd have to start a new game everytime you played it, because if you played with a guy that had the same fiefs than you, it just wouldn't work.
So honestly, it might go multiplayer, but NEVER will it go MMO. It's just not concievable.

I think people are right that M&B wouldn't work as like, a conventional MMORPG. It would be... awful to say the least if we had thousands of people packed into towns and such. M&B is cool because it isn't conventional though- I know it's too much to ask for realistically, but MMO done in a new way that suits M&B would rock.
Maybe, since M&B has no linear storyline (and I don't think it will at release?) the storyline could be played through a series of battles online over a period of months- like every couple of weeks an RP description is posted up, for the next few days the battle could be fought by players- whichever side comes out with the most wins or whatever counts as winning the battle in the storyline- and the next storyline advancement and battle reflects that.
I hope I'm making sense
A pipedream, but a sweet one
EDIT: Well, you could show on the map to yourself- but not too others until you're in a party of a certain size?

Multiplayer games with 1-4 characters wouldn't and shouldn't be THAT hard to make, even if u had just 1 person against you it would make the game so much better, you could see how other Humans play it, evolve, get better and thus make the game better and perhaps some meaning to the game.. (training so you could beat that someone who is uberly great in MnB)

It would indeed be hard to make all of it multiplayer (not MMO, which I reackon as impossible), but think of sales, all going like WEEEEEEEEEEEE!, rocketing to no end.Amagic said:Atmosk said:
That's multiplayer over the intenet, establishing that can be a b***h. More like LAN would be easier but a lot of the game should be changed and they are not going to do it. Besides some people sugguest (including me) A LAN MOD!!!!!
Modders it's open season

There's no set number, Sephran, but MMOs involve everyone playing on the same server. I mean, imagine what i'd be like. Everybody would have to be online while because it is simply not like the regular MMO game. In the regular game, you logout, everything that belongs to you disappear. But in m&b you have posessions - your fiefs - which play an important role in the game. And it would just suck if your fiefs were attacked while you weren't playing.

Yeah, but at least in that case you are ingame. I'm talking about things like you being asleep in real life while getting attacked.Sephran said:
