Опрос предпочтений игроков с форума Reddit

Опрос на форуме Reddit проводился разработчиками нового графического мада, с концептом которого можно ознакомиться по ссылке https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8183146/temp/mud_rpg_game/index.html. Не уверен сколько просуществует демо, поэтому сделал скриншот.



Концепт графического мада

Разработчикам хотелось узнать предпочтения игроков, для этого они создали соответствующую тему на форуме https://www.reddit.com/r/MUD/comments/4ia17v/survey_we_are_thinking_about_creating_a_new_mmo/. Я тоже в нем поучаствовал и решил скопировать от туда результаты (напротив варианта ответа количество проголосовавших, в скобках в процентах от общего числа).

Please tell us what you like in a game


Guilds, clans, orders or any other player grouping

  • No, I don't like that the game offers ways players can join in larger groups. — 2(4%)
  • Yes,  there should be a system for players to create guilds, clans, whatever  with guild masters and with other access levels. Maybe even a guild bank  or guild housing in the future! — 43(86%)

  • Другое — 3(6%)

Luck vs a deterministic system

  • Другое — 5(10%)

Alignments
Alignments could be if you are good, neutral, evil, chaotic, etc. What do you think about alignments?

  • Другое — 6(12%)

Currency and economic
A currency is something you can accumulate and spend in the game, such as «gold».

  • Yes, but restricted only a few pre-defined ones. — 24(48%)
  • Yes,  but it should be liberal — anything should work as a currency. It  should be a totally a player driven economic system, like the game Eve  does it. — 20(40%)

Religions

  • This question is not important to me. — 11(22%)
  • Другое — 2(4%)

  • This question is not important to me. — 6(12%)
  • Другое — 5(10%)

Dialogs with NPCs

  • Yes, this is very important for me. I would love a dialog system. — 29(58%)
  • No, it's just a waste of time. The NPC should just tell me the bare minimum of what is required of me to continue the game. — 9(18%)
  • This question is not important to me. — 7(14%)
  • Другое — 5(10%)

Should weather affect your game?
Should the current weather have any in game impact?
  • Yes, its more realistic if the weather had some kind of impact of the game play. — 29(58%)

  • This question is not important to me. — 11(22%)

Gear and items drops

  • I  like when gear and items are pre-defined, as in the game World of  Warcraft, so I know what specifically which mob to grind to get the item  I am looking for. — 18(36%)
  • This question is not important to me. — 4(8%)
  • Другое — 6(12%)

  • Другое — 0(0%)

If you think that we might have missed any other important game play or game mechanics, please write them here!
  • dont start without a good plan and keep it scoped down the project will grow exponentially
  • My  only fear is all of the 'asks' make for more effort in the game.  Id  love to see a lot of things but I know its probably not reasonable.   Eitherway, good luck :)
  • Active in-character admins(in god form etc.), it helps a lot with the immersion and you don't see much of it nowadays
  • Open-world  player housing with the ability of item storage, lockpicking skill for  breaking into other's homes, limited storage, bank taxing based on  amount of space used and the possibility of robbing it, player-driven  justice system.
  • I'd like a Graphical Mud that is RP-Enforced or that somehow allows RPers to play together without interruption from non-RPers
  • Permadeath
  • Honestly  you should check out Avalon RPG, it fits a lot of my answer and is one  of my favorite muds — player driven economy, open world pvp, standard  gear etc. Its the type of game I would like most but I think a lot other  players wouldn't like it
  • I think the best answers lie somewhere in between the choices you have presented.
  • System requirements should be observed, not everybody can run demanding games. I wish you guys the best of luck.
  • Not  really gameplay-related and quite secondary, but I like having a  web-based list of characters, each player being able to allow/disallow  others to view their character pages.
  • I  always find myself going back to Dragonrealms for how rich the pve  combat is. Something akin to that would be fantastic...think advancing  on enemies...giving rooms a 3D feel.
