Excerpt:

Quote:

Imagine a game which followed the freeform ideal to the limit. A game that incorporated all genres from first-person shooters to space trading sims to 4X space operas.

A game where someone could fight as an FPS grunt, in a battle directed by a tactical squad commander, as part of a wide battle front directed by an RTS general, which was but one part of a planetary war planned and executed by the ruler of a galactic empire.

A game where you would never go on a cookie-cutter mission stamped out upon request by a vending NPC, because all "missions" would be requests from other players for a particular service, such as transporting a combat team to an enemy stronghold, designing a corporate headquarters, or tracking the movements of a spy working for a foreign power.

I'd be near impossible to pull off now, but it would be worth $9.95 a month, don't you think?

That didn't stop the Sims from being the best selling game of all time! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

^ in the sims, you can't shoot people, you can't direct battles in RTS, etc.

Sims is nothing more, than a game like ... er ... Sim tower, Sim Town, Sim City, etc. Sims is run a home and peoples lives.

The game Ace Mercury, is a improved version of sims, therefore Life.
