That would be immense!!Baloogan wrote:I'd like about 200. I know this is crazy but I want to have a simulation of the world today running.
Also could we have ... orginizations like the UN/NATO which are like alliance groups?
All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

SR2020....the mmorpg. You log on and run your country to your hearts content. When you have to say, sleep, or maybe go to work, the AI runs it for you. All done at 1/1 real time, or at least fairly slowly. Wouldn't want to go on holiday for a few days and come back to find your country does not exist. Best part is if you lose.....you just start over on a diff server/map.

Sounds nice, but sadly it would never work.
It would fail for the same reasons most MMO's end up the way they do.
No not lame dev teams, lousy design,horrible CS,etc... thouch those all would probably be a factor.
It would fail becuase it would be trying to represent a Real life situation without one of the main (if not the main) reason people act they way they do.
Consequences.
Unless they are going to throw players in jail (in the real world) or have someone knock them off (again in the real world) players will act far more reckless ,beligerant, and untrustworthy simply becuase they can without facing any real consequences.

It took how many years for someone to finally go in and remove Saddam Hussein? Qaddafi is still in Libya. Kim Il Jung anyone? I'm not so sure that factor wouldn't make it much more realistic rather than ruining the game. Your point is well taken though.
