... I'd like to see someone implement a system where NPCs were cheap for hire and just as good as PCs so if you were raiding or defending a city you could do it alone, as long as your guild had a lot of cash saved up to hire NPC soldiers (well, maybe not alone, but with 5 people logged in at 6am, when the Asians are plotting our late night demise, instead of 50)

I hope they *can* focus on fun. Shadowbane was so amazing that its all I ever wanted to do, ever. I skipped parties and ignored my friends while I was playing it, and I don't know how that makes me feel. On one hand, it was so good I couldn't drag myself away from it, but on the other hand, I was skipping parties and ignoring my friends, lol.

Shadowbane did alot of things terribly wrong, possibly the worst pve in any game I've ever played, bug ridden, lag filled, exploits and dupes everywhere.

Dispite all that it's the best game I ever played, the best pvp, a game that built teamwork and friendships. No game has ever got the adrenalin pumping like shadowbane and in no other game did I shout and cheer at my PC after acheiveing something (takeing down a tree vastly outnumbered seconds before the banestone was to die). PVP was meaningful and actions had consequences and that is something no other game has really managed.

Give me a new ip with the shadowbane pvp, a stable and relativly bug free game with gms who clamp down on the cheats, a decent population and a graphics update and I'll be happy for a few years.

I really don't care weather im a gun toting elf in hell or a barbarian wielding a lawn mower in a post apocalypic world. I just want some good meaningfull team pvp with city and empire building and destroying with my friends and guild.

Lets hope one of these games provides us a game where we can really thrive again as a guild as we did back in shadowbane.

I prefer sci fi tbh.

So sick of elves and dwarves.

Phantasy Star is one example that pulls it off well. Shadowrun was another. Final Fantasy usually doesnt count IMO cause its more steampunk than high tech. Usualy... guess it really depends on which one. FF7 was one of the most science-types and is also widely regarded as the best so...
I certainly thought it was cool when it was out.

Depends, FF is hit and miss.

In any case I am looking forward to their next game, and have a feeling they might get it right this time. Its also good news that they licensed an engine, that will take alot of the technical burden regarding the client off their backs, and most commercial engines are pretty keen about support and performance.
