The best at least making MMO games more storylike by Ernest W. \nAdams

qualities of a wellformed story
story must be coherent
players \nconsistancy is enforced by available
experience preservers credibility \nwiht in the world
players derives entertainment form
few or no random or \nrepetitive events
the lord of the rins online played
it has a famous \nstory
thinks the game works very well generally
but
respawn the \nproblem will be always be there
NPC wants erverybody help - everybody runs \nthrough zhe same quest
the universe is in trouble but the touble will \nactually never happen
same person in different places because you are \nespected to walk the storyline and never come back but you do. Bad \nlocation
managment!
being in the boys scouts is not \nstorylike.
The players actions do not contribute to the \nplot.
Personal groth is expressed in numbers.
expansions
usally \ninclude massive world changes.
occur suddenly overnight
changes are not \nthe result of in-game player acctivities
examples for the \ngood:
second-life
minecraft
a tale of the dessert 5
"a tale of \nthe dessert" is more a social experiment than it is on
a \nstory
recommendations
use more modern settings reduces the impact \nof bad role-playing
create a big world with a large story
it should also \nnarurally generate many small stories
the player must be under pressure not \nthe world but have powers
make changes permanent
dont use the heros \njourney story structure
the story must end or be a soap opera
give every \nplayer unique quests to do
use permanent death or no death at aall
death \nhas to be meaningfull
the setting should justify the population \nsize
his game idea
the blitz online
a visual presantation with many \nwords
spirit of the blitz
everybody has to be hero somehow because he \nwants to survive
the basic idea is a virtual social community - \nnetwork
tea is the only buff
...
after all a great awesome \ntalk.
