The Plight of MMO's and Social Networking.


I usually ramble on in my head about these things but today I decided to jot it down instead.

Every "Cute" MMO out there seems to have the concensus that women like Chibi characters with large heads and many emotes. While this seems to work for them I myself am more than put off by the shoddy character design that just seems to me like more copy-pasta from other older "Cute" MMO's.

But lets get to the point I'm trying to make.

I will never fall in love with a character in a game unless they can outshine the box-art and Luna Online (Yes you, go fuck yourself) has done a good job of making the concept artist in charge work really hard till his nails bleed while the in-game character designer sleeps in on Saturdays and drinks hot cocoa for 20 minutes every bloody hour.

What I want to see myself is Teatime make an MMO.

They already love making cute outfits for female characters and at least seem to know that men can dress snappy too. The girls are always beautiful and charming and never sell out to the box-art. It would truly be a splendorous thing.

The only problem is that the FPS lag on the game would cause normal computers to crash upon launch and only Terabyte chugging behemoths would get past the login screen. Maybe a few clipping bugs here and there but I would buy the game for assuming around 24000\-48000\ and however monthly along and the 1000$ Terabyte hardrive capable of laying it just to join the community of pixel lovers.
