Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I really like mmo's and ones that really had a life to the world which was very open. I like the cryptic ones and they are sorta a good example as their stuff getting further from the mmo thing I like. champions had day/night cycles and like chinatown had fireworks in the evening an you could see the traffic patterns follow the workday and you saw the bussiness high rises lights go out as it got later and residential ones come on. It was real neat. STO only had day night on risa and they had to get rid of it with an update where now the time of day was basically different for different instances. neverwinter not only had no cycles like that but became much more on rails with sorta pho environment that was by and large just big long tunnels. I love customization in both character visuals and builds which again became more limited as you went through what you had. The big thing with mmos though is the online reliance. You have all these neat things but if the servers go offline then you lose it all. Would love an online/offline mmo with all sorts of options for look and builds and big open living worlds. As far as type of world I have a soft spot for superheroes as you can sorta do everything with it. magic. technology. and of course just powers. I just wish I had the time to get back into them.
