From when you were young, or older, when was the time that you thought "this would be a cool game" in conjunction with "I want to make this game!"?

Absolutely. I just want to make armor and shoot the breeze. I guess systems like that start pushing more into simulator territory, but it would still be really cool. I always appreciated it when MMOs did extra stuff with blacksmithing like adding your name to equipment you created. or letting you rename equipment.

These ideas came directly from the time I play Mabinogi! It was fighting centric, but you could age and have little mini-games for jobs, and play music! They weren't completely indepth, but it was quite nice that they were real skills you could work on. There were just...a lot of other issues with the game haha.

I remember that! Couldn't you even gain and lose weight or something like that?

Oof! That was like the golden age of MMOs though. I feel like there was something new coming out every month.

Yeah I was hopping around and looking for different MMOs like monthly. Be all about them, play really hard for a few weeks, and then move on to another one. I did not value my free time around then lol.
