Iron and Magic - Richard Garriott is making an NFT MMO

[Drop Duck]

Cryptocurrency?
Blockchain?
NFTS?
Oh boy......

Our boy Richie Rich Big G is making all the right sounds. The NFT future is here and money is in the air. Innovation is knocking at the door, mate. Are you going to open or what? I just hope the world is ready for the first big NFT MMO, Garriott might be too ahead of the curve with this. But if he isn't he's just going to print money and early adopters, the players, will also get rich. It's about time we got paid for playing video games.

Is there even a game or is this just Ultimate Collector 2 of NFTs?

I swear I watched a video about another blockchain stupid mmo game with a big talking coin.

Playing a blockchain NFT MMO sounds like getting sucked and trapped inside of a pop up ad or porn dialer from 2003 Internet Explorer.

If I wanted to play an MMO where I am the plaything of an elite group of gigawhales and get by on the most meager of scraps while being unable to grow or expand thanks to their complete grip on the market I'd reinstall EVE Online.

Didn't Cranford announce the same thing a few weeks back?

Richard needs more money so he can go back into space.

He should send his own ashes up this time. Why should a teacher hog all the "First ____" glory?

Speaking of ashes in the sky, I wonder if James Doohan's ashes which Richard hid up on the ISS will eventually kill someone like the Mir toilet seat in Dead Like Me. Please let it be that timeline. Please let it be George Takei.

Richard can't afford to be ethical anymore, just hedonistic.

Was true in the 90's when he put the MMO in MMORPG's.

Unless I can pvp people and take the NFTs from their corpses, its not worth it.

Or assault their property when they aren't online ofc.

That reminds me of what Star Citizen has turned into recently. A recent update let people loot items off of dead players. This includes rare items only obtainable for real world money or through their subscription service.Those items won't respawn unless they are back in the owner's inventory. They're yours to keep if you can get them off of the cold dead hands of it's original owner. This has led to much salt as players shot up wealthy players and stole all their rare items and ships they paid for with real money. I would love to see this in an NFT MMO with the stakes of Eve Online. It'd really make people be more cautious not only with what they equip but what they buy with their real money.

It could be an interesting dynamic, but I'm sure its been done in varying fashions in other games already.

Stuff like this sorta exists in games, like EvE off the top of my head. Just instead of protecting an NFT, you pay others to protect your grinded sperg-value in the case of EvE. The NFT is basically a gimmick and just a different way to transfer value.

People with "money" invested in the game will have to consider how to pay others to protect their "investment." Instead of other "non-unique" methods of transferring value (items for subscriptions or whatever), value is held in "unique" NFT's that have a single pixel changed.

It's just a gimmick, but its the latest thing so who knows what levels of abstraction and entertainment will be had from it.

That's pretty fuckin' based.

And popcorn-pilled. Watching these shitshows without having to pay anything into them is just the best in free entertainment, and this would be the only way the Shroud of the Avatar shitshow could get a proper sequel.


But I am glad that someone finally found something resembling gameplay in the Crobberccino Simulator! </positivity>

The more I think about it. The more I think an Eve Online with NFTs would actually be a really great thing. The current and very Jewish way NFTs are used in gaming is a huge waste of potential in both gameplay terms and monetary return on investment. Imagine being a whale, going in chat to brag you bought a Titan for £400 and then having it blown up in 10 minutes by a gang of trolls. That £400 going with it. People would actually have to think about what they bought and what they did with it. With very real consequences for running your mouth. People would have to make real money investments and actually protect them. And grief would be minimal if the consequences of that griefing would be your actual money being wasted.

Actually, I just realized I can talk to some people about this. We'll see what happens.

Good luck on that.
Tricky Dick and Pissy Chrissy already tried this with Shroud of the Avatard with Real Money Transactions and their virtual property sale.
ANYTHING that threatened the value of the whale properties would be nerfed through the fucking ground - to eventually include RMT itself because it was competing with the company selling asset flips.

And then... they NERF YOUR MONEY BY DESIGN!

Yes, they are going straight from asset flips to NFT with this kind of development. At least you're going to have a "but not like THAT" example in this.

Would it be that different from what it currently is? ISK could already be traded for real money to purchase subscription, and every salty Eve drama came with some articles giving the real world money equivalent of the value destroyed/scammed.
Anyway, after having played MMO with permanent losses(Shadowbane and Hyperiums), I can assure you you don't need NFT to feel anxious about losing what you did.
But having to protect real assets in game feels more interesting than spending real money on it.
There is a reason the money you can have at a poker table is capped after all. I don't think removing the cap would make for a more interesting game.
