I find running through zones rather relaxing…

I’m surprised GW2 has lasted as long as it has.

bought that game on release and still fire it up once in a while, for me the reason it's lasted this long is it's production value. They put a lot of time into the massive game world and it shows.

GW2 and old EQ are probably the only games I've ever played where I enjoy exploring for explorations sake. Maybe Eve-Online back in the day, where I for some strange reason liked chilling in an asteroid belt mining and listening to the soundtrack.

So I had a thought.

What if a dev team took Everquest P99 and implemented AI to Agents to run all NPCS (2027-28)
- AI runs NPC convos with each unique conversations sticking to the lore but add in hidden easter eggs.
- AI runs NPC interactions among NPCs as well. (Maybe you stumble on a quest with a unique item?)
- AI runs NPC pathing.(No more set paths.. They're going to move/interact and learn from where/how players move around?

You get my general idea?
- I think One of the MAJOR the things that is missing is actually INTELLIGENT in game characters.

Yes? No? STFU? lemme kno!

This is where a non-asshole billionaire is supposed to buy the IP, and more or less experiment with doing what you say, and so forth, and we'll play in it, just figure out how to slay the Three Challenges whilst demanding perhaps even more of the first, some leeway on the second, but a ruthless Facebook like scythe to the third.

We need a batman, not for vigilantism, but to buy game companies.

This would require the existence of a non-asshole billionaire first, pretty sure its a hard requirement to be an asshole to gain such currency.

Gotta wait for Brian Thompson's kids to grow up and meet Ra's al Ghul.

I consider my real life to be like an MMO
