It would seem most players that actually spend money on F2P MMOs are likely to buy such race-transfers.

It’s almost common practice in Rappelz.

Nothing exists in the world but 3 little towns when the server starts. Not even coins! Players have to create the first coins, the first tools, the first weapons, the first spells.

They have to pray to gods for power and much, much, much more.

They have to build the towns and protect them from the whims of petty and jealous gods. They have to provide resources to keep the town in good shape, they have to eat, they have to trade, they have to survive beyond just taking things from otehrs, but take things from others they will!

If I could build a website I would put all my data up on it and look for VC. But for now it is just a dream with no one to share it with, well but you guys.

Kill things > Get Stronger > kill stonger things > get stronger > run out of content.

1) Players should create the content

2) The purpose of getting stronger should be ANYTHING but a cycle for its own purpose

What current MMOs are missing:

economics
creation / destruction of EVERYTHING
scarcity of resources
natural struggle
real trade
roles other than combatant, crafter
diplomacy
everything that makes real life a struggle and an accomplishment shifted into a fantasy setting
skills-based advancement
consequences
IMPOSSIBILITY of cookie cutter character development
skill degradation!
a reason to have multiple characters OTHER than boredom, buff bot, or craft bot!
a reason to fight, a reason to not fight, a reason to pray, a reason to rest, a reason to eat, PURPOSE
a place to call home and a place to call hell
did I mention consequences?
undending ever-expanding chracter development that you could not possibly wrap your head around to min-max
FUN
AWE
PASSION
DRAMA
PLAYER-DRIVEN
no two servers remotely
ever-developing player created and driven content natural to their needs, desires, and whims

I have developed this game completely on paper. Can I have $20 million to be the next WOW? I don;t want to be rich. I don;t want to be famous. I want to play my game and from EVERYTHING I have read and heard so does everyone else. HELP!!!

How can anyone justify having a gem like AC2 sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust with hundreds of hours of content, while these terrible excuses for games are being released?

Throw down some money for marketing and a re-release would be 1% of the cost of developing a new mmo and it already has years of content, not to mention a community of post-wow gamers looking for a new home.
