Who would want a Zelda MMORPG??

02-17-2003, 05:51 PM

MMORPG: a game like Ever Quest, Ultuma (sp?) Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Dark age of Camolot, Asherons Call and a lot more. If you vote no plz say why if you have time. If you vote yes plz tell what you would like to be in it. Play able characters are the Hylians (yes I know I cann't spell lol) Gorons and Zoras.

No. Zelda is not a typical RPG, and it doesn't deserve to be treated as such.

MMORPG?

Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. At least I think that's what it is.

^ Yes, that's correct. To give you an example, Everquest is one.

^ Ya I know. 3 characters over lvl 50 :/ Takes about 40 days playing time to get someone that high, and that's only screwing around a little bit.

True, the Zelda games aren’t your normal RPGs, having no experience levels and such. However, they still contain many elements of them.

Exploration is a big example. As with almost any 3-D game, if the world is big enough, players will have fun simply existing and moving around in it. I know that was the case with myself when I was playing Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I would love to see the game developers expand on what those two games showed us in terms of the over world. Sure, they were great, but pretty small to be called a country (in my opinion).

I think that for a Zelda online game to work, there would have to be a new plot line, one that was not very linear at all. Take games like Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City. Those games have an incredible replay value. Even after all the missions are done, it's still fun to just mess around - and with the addition of certian cheats (like riot mode) the game gains a new perspective to be explored in. Of course, as with anything that remains untouched, over time even games like that can become simply a novelty. To counter that, perhaps the designers could incorporate events within the game. Something similar to what they are doing in Star Wars Galaxies? (I can't remember if this was the one).

I've always believed that in games like this, player's characters should be extremely customizable and therefore unique. Phantasy Star Online made a good attempt at this, but really only scratched the surface. Even the addictive game The Sims fell short in a way, as you were limited to what you could find. Providing you were an accomplished skinner, you could make virtually anything, but not everyone was. For the Zelda game, I think character creation should extend to almost all major species shown in the game; Hylian, Zoran, Goron, Gurudo, Kikori, (ignore the spellings) and even some monsters. Next to the Zora body, in Majora’s mask, the Deku Scrub was my favorite.

Addicting doesn't always equal Good. I tried EQ, and I just couldn't do it. Just couldn't. I play DAoC, and while it can get boring, I personally prefer it to EQ. EQ, however, is made by a bigger name and gets more suscribers. However, almost all who have played UO have said that it was the best MMORPG that they have played. Personally, I'm looking forward to SWG, but if they continue to keep PvP the way it is, I'll switch to Planetside or Shadowbane or maybe just continue with DAoC.

EQ isn't just addicting, its truly a great game. Basically its a virtual D&D which I also happen to have a great love for.

Not that I think a Massive-Multiplayer Zelda game would be a wise idea (although... play as a Shiekah too and maybe I'll consider it), who says Massive Multiplayer games must be RPGS? Why not make 'em adventures LIKE Zelda?
