It’s my birthday so I get to repost any old, lost thing in the archives, haven’t you heard it is your birthday right. In this case this weird ass comic.
The worst thing about mmorpgs is how empty they can feel, especially inns.
I wish that once you log off, your character can become an npc of sorts and just hang around. Imagine going to an inn and seeing a logged-off player’s big buff orc reading a trashy romance novel by the fireplace.
If you log off in a city, you and everyone else’s characters walk around, talk to npcs, browse shops, eat something, walking your pets etc.
The local stable will have logged off player mounts and their pets chilling.
Higher level characters can be seen mentoring lower level characters.
Characters who were logged off in the wilderness can be seen camping, scouting, fishing, etc.
You can talk to logged off characters – ask where they got their armour, pets, mounts, how long they’ve been playing, what quest they’re on now, backstory etc. They can even lead you to other quests and give tips on areas they’ve visited.
When you log back on, your character will have a journal about what they did, who they met, etc.
This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears
