I invent the perfect MMOG.

[WindupAtheist]

And it's not even hard to code.  Someone should steal this idea.

Okay, the game is called Clickz for teh Winz.  In it, there's a little red box in the middle of your screen, and your job is to click it.  Over and over again.  Hundreds, nay, thousands of times in a row.  The game tracks how many clicks everyone has, and posts the top 10 on a ranking board.  The #1 guy gets a gold star next to his name.

There we go.  Boom, I'm a fucking genius.  But wait, have I mentioned the PvP?

While you're clicking away constantly with one hand, you can navigate a list of other users online with the keyboard, and challenge one to a Clicking Duel.  If he accepts, you both... well... keep clicking.  But after 30 seconds, the guy who's clicked the most gets credits for both his own AND the other guy's clicks, and the other guy has wasted 30 seconds of clicking time.

On the extra-special Hardcore PvP server, the other guy doesn't even have to accept your Clicking Duel challenge.  You can just select him and click the shit out of him, and waste his precious clicking time at will.  According to the guy who used to camp my corpse in UO, this honest and realistic system will foster a strong sense of community where everyone lives under the stern but even hand of player justice.  Or something.

Ah, but see, here's where the money comes in.  You ask everyone to send you a dollar each month.  The ones who send in their dollars get listed on their own special ranking board, above the old one.  Furthermore, this board will have more colors and cooler looking text.  And that #1 guy?  His gold star is animated to spin around!

People will die of starvation as they sit there and click.  All MMOG developers have been 0wn3d.

Don't tell Korea about your relevation.

[sinij]

Macroing will be out of control in that game.

[Wasted]

Your too late, Race war kingdoms has been made already.

[geldonyetich]

Close enough.

Anywho, methinks WindupAtheist's point (if he was trying to make one) is that it seems hard for developers to NOT make a game like that....

... which is jaded cynicism....

.... I admire his ability to file messages on the proper bulletin boards.

Sad thing is, he is right on the money there ...

Looks like someone just caught up to the rest of the community.

When you are doing the "cool speak", why do you type the word "one"? Obviously someone isn't going to typo a ! by literally typing the word "one". Is "one" cooler than "1"? Is it because the cool kids on other forums started doing it?

Not trying to pick on you personally. I just think that taking it that extra step further by changing the typo "1" to the literal word "one" is trying too hard at the humor. Putting the word "shift+" in there, while even less funny I do admit that's the first I have seen so you get points for that. Keep trying, maybe it can be altered even further!

BTW, try selling your idea to EA or Sony. They can just slap some other graphics on it, and sell thousands. Maybe Indiana Jones graphics. You might get rich.

So are you trying to be cool by being anti-cool?

I'm the coolest guy to ever engage in a discussion of forum ettiquete on a website devoted to massively multiplayer online role-playing games, like... ever.  Fear my awesomeness.  *does some cool skateboard stunts and jumps out of an airplane while strapped to a snowboard and drinking a Mountain Dew*

Your game is too shallow, I'd better play Shadowclan's  DEATH ISLAND 2.0 beta rather than your boring clickfest.
I'll be playing my l33t Norwegian while you keep clicking, mwarharharharhar

Your game design lacks the guild and crafting elements.  What you need to do is add allegiances where people can swear to you and then a portion of their clicks also gets counted as your clicks.  Also, other players can be crafters where their clicks, instead of giving themselves clicking points, creates special power-ups that they can trade to other players which multiplies the number of their clicks.
