Hello. I am back after being gone for a while.

Anyway I have a question for all of you.

What kind of text based browser game would you want to play?
Give me a description. Like do you want fight level fight fight level.
Or something that requires brains and skill.
Just describe your dream game.

I am wanting to make one just no idea. I thought this the best place to do so.

I've been making a game like my dream but just can't seem to get it to look how I want it.

To answer your question, here is what I would like
- multiplayer
- 2d graphics (because I hear 3d in browser based isn't possible - I would like to prove that wrong)
- crafting system (ability to make my own weapons, spells, armor etc by finding resources and formulas in the world)
- battle system (ability to fight monsters, claim loot, multiplayer fighting, pvp)
- thieving system (ability to steal from other players if you are in the same zone, ability to steal from merchants/if you're caught you lose fame points, and they charge you higher prices till you can raise your fame (but completing quests)
- contstantly growing quests and game content - this is a tough one. Like what I am building - a system where player can contribute to the world, my problem is keeping the contribution consistent. Running out of things to do is my biggest problem
- trying to avoid the level grind, if have to level just to get that next ability... not sure how to get around that

I guess what I'm saying isn't new - all sorts of MMORPGs have these abilities. I guess I want to see something better come along, something that takes all the faults of these games and make them better. I don't say rip one of these games off, take their concept and improve upon it.

I have the coding background, I'd love to work on a project that could make the next generation of browser-based MMORPG.

I think I will be an active player. And who knows, maybe help graphics if they are good enough.
