Every MMoRPG game I played, RP was noticable, but niche activity. I have seen people achieving their kicks other way usually. By kicking butts left and right and craving for more butts to be kicked. It happened this was all a background for RP of all kinds. If CCP would have to do WIS, then not for RPlayers like us as the main target. CCP could provide background and gameplay appealing to vider audience, and then add some additional tools for RP, more than "/emote". It have a greater chance of success I think. Sure, totally agree.
Well mostly, I think. I think the idea of it kinda brings even non-RPers into deeper, more enjoyable immersion too.
I think of it this way; In the space side of the game everyone here wishes it to be as real an experience as possible. The game never stops evolving, we want better graphics, better sound, more realistic effects here or there, all this talk of VR etc etc. We get immersed deeper because of all these things. We don't need them though, in fact some of these things are inconvenient and intensive in a technical sense. We could just be dots running around a map, but we want it to look and feel like the real deal.
You don't have to be an RPer to find extra immersion having to, say, hack a relic site by entering some ruin with your avatar. To get together for fun times with your corpies, taking your drunken group avatar screenshots. You might even be encouraged to do it, with things you can only buy/do/complete by getting out of your ship and walking to some vendor or agent in station.
I think if something like WiS was just dumped on us people would ultimately lap it up in so many ways. I don't think the resistance we read on the forum accurately represents the people who'd turn their back utterly on all these features experiences ingame if they existed. *shrugs* I dunno.
But ultimately you're right. I don't think avatar stuff will eventuate to satiate a niche crowd, it'll creep in naturally over time like natural evolution. As we see more items released, more items again, better computers, better ingame technology, better software, other games all doing their avatar thing. People will have all these lovely avs, tons of items, and nothing to do with them directly. Meanwhile the tech make it happen gets better, cheaper, and we all get better computers too, people end up asking why we can't do simple stuff with these avatars. Even today I think the attitude towards avatar stuff has changed drastically in the eve community since 4 years ago.
4 more years it'll shifted even further. |
