>people growing up>group chat services like discord replacing in game comms for tranny circlejerks>datamining and wikification meaning there is no more excitement, exploration and getting rumours from randoms about the game world>fast travel and party finders removing the need for travel and talking to strangers for PQ/dungeons/raids/whateverDisaster all around. I was actually thinking about this the other day when some maplestory nostalgia stuff got recommended to me and about how to do an MMO right. I think if you made a game that is somehow resistant to datamining with encrypted game files, a legally binding NDA signed under your real name regarding sharing information outside of the game and a team of fucking ruthless lawyer jannies running sites and users off the internet that containment break. A background anticheat type system that wont let the game run if it detects your tranny chat or a VM running running. Then a game similar to oldschool maple, localised communications only within the map and outside of map communications limited to friends list and guild. Thanks for reading my blog.
