So.. batmud is great, batmud is wonderful but..

its very static. Like making passionate love to dolphins, after a while the
novelty wears off and its the same old same old click click eek eek eek.

Um.. right.
lost my train of thought..

oh yeah..

So take one of those coders who thinks along the lines of -Game of thrones-
and
have them come up with a long-term, over arcing story line. Some people get
off on the story world-building so let them run with that and busy themselves
in coming up with something EPIC.

Probably would need a channel or soemthing that players can consult labelled
as something like world-status or soemthing like that, not to be confused
with daily events. Possibly also an accessible summary of the development
of events to date as well.

This sounds incredibly complicated but it could be as simple as a small
seasonal changes to something in game. Depending on the motivation of the
coder, this could be a static or interactive series of plot points.
As a really basic example..

January-February : In the constant struggle between order and chaos,
the lords of XXX chaos god have begun plannign something.. on the cold
plains of rothikgen, cultists have been seen searching for... something.

Game effect: tundra on roth, occasionally spawn a chaos cultist.

Static effect: cultists are killabe but ultimately the story progresses in
the next time period.

Interactive effect: If a certain number of cumulative cultists are killed,
stronger cultists are spawned/ more cultists are spawned. If a total number
of cultists are killed by end of time duration, the story progresses in
a different way.


etc.
you should have the general idea.

this gives the game a sense of development, progression but also improves
upon the general world... mythos..

and i've drunk too much now. i go lie down.
