hello! im new to the forums and i just had an idea come to me for an mmofps. Im no good at game programming, but if someone wanted to try it it be kinda cool for me. id really like and mmofps set in our time and you can choose to be a cop, petty thief, in the mafia or create/join a gang. the setting could be the entire world and you can travel anywhere in the world. there would also be no npcs besides store owners which sell you equipment and doctors that heal you.also, there could be some servers (not all) that you can make a character on and if he dies, he is gone and you lose all the money and stuff you had for him.oh and it would be free to play with stuff you can buy with real money.

Sort of like the "Hardcore" character mode on Diablo II basically?

I like that fresh idea, and I appreciate what is trying to be accomplished with the point of this. People will be more cautious... they will actually fear death, as opposed to just running around and doing whatever the hell they want to in a digital world. I would submit that perhaps this is still too steep a price... and would suggest some other form of death penalty that is more forgiving... while at the same time sufficient to keep people afraid of dying. (and for death to actually suck, yet able to recover from)

just my two cents. But I do like your idea. It reminds me of something like Grand Theft Auto .. except MMO style.

As you've mentioned it ... A game exactly like this is " all points bulletin " or " APB " developed by Webzen INC. go and check it if you wanna : www.webzen.com

i meant just some hardcore servers and they would be completely pvp except if your in a gang you cant kill your gang members and cops cant kill cops. and on one of these servers you become wanted by the cops if you kill someone and they can see you on the map. oh and clan wars would acctualy be gang wars.
