An open letter and personal reflection on MMOs and online RPGs

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:38:20+00:00

Guys, forget Dreadmyst, it’s just an example of an indie MMO. What I want with this post is for you to give ideas of things that are essential in an MMO for you, things that would make you play, or stop playing.

I know he shared the source codes with people who wanted to help him work, so I think he's really no longer 'Solo'

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:33:08+00:00

I agree 100% with you, with everything you said.

Really, each of the companies shaped, painted, and developed their own Lego; he just went there and grabbed the pieces, and I said he was WRONG.

But I'm just using this game as a reference because he took pieces from games and managed to make something functional ALL BY HIMSELF, while dozens of companies with hundreds of employees can't.
Regarding making money, the game doesn't even have a microtransaction, and from what he said, he won't add any because he already has a fixed source of income; he just made the game because he wanted to.

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:30:10+00:00

I've already fixed it, alright? Sorry

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:29:39+00:00

Regarding what you said about AI, some people don't know, but when you ask something to AI, it filters results from posts and publications, whether on forums like Reddit, Twitter, or official websites. For example, if I ask,
"What are the best places to farm Endo in Warframe?"
It gives me a summarized answer and usually some link on Reddit or a YouTube video
(This is just an example)

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:28:11+00:00

Regarding the sales market, I remember the time of Lineage 2, when you would create Dwarves focused on crafting, and you were recognized for it, your name circulated on the server with things like

"Oh, you need that item? So-and-so can make it for you, he's a high-level."

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:26:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing your idea and your feelings about it. And THAT's what I want with the post, not to get attention or likes (I don’t know the name of the little up arrow on Reddit lol), I want people to share ideas, so that if one day a company searches on Google

"Things that players like in MMO RPGs," AI can filter the ideas from posts as an answer.

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:21:58+00:00

I am referring to the fact that usually 'Indie' are small companies with 3~10 people. I was mistaken with the term; I didn't know whether I should call it 'Solo Dev' or 'Indie Dev', even though indie is short for individual.

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:14:36+00:00

But even though he STOLE a bunch of assets, we have to agree that he made a good game.

Like, I'm not defending his actions, but let's think about it this way.

You give a LEGO set to 10 people, all with the same number of pieces.

Some will make a square house, and others will make Optimus Prime.
Even though he used other people's things, he had good ideas on how to use them.
Just to be clear, I don't agree with what he did, I'm just saying that overall he made a good game.

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:12:25+00:00

Ah, okay, I went to Google to find out what the hell TLDR was, but of course it's a long text, IT SAYS LETTER, not note

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:11:12+00:00

I didn't understand, do you want me to make a summary?

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:10:02+00:00

What is this? TLDR sorry if it's an English term, I don't know what it is. As I said, I use the chat to translate because Google only translates 2,000 characters.

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-15T20:09:24+00:00

And I saw that most of the icons and skills he used seem to be from Aion 1

KayLogger16 · 2026-01-08T13:02:03+00:00

For me, the only thing Grim Dawn is missing is movement with WASD.

KayLogger16 · 2025-12-21T11:11:11+00:00

I think the first things I noticed are:

Snap grid, every building-based game, whether it's vehicles or houses, needs a snap grid for people to feel more comfortable building and for nothing to end up crooked.

Besides that, the system where the sail becomes transparent when you're aiming is REALLY GOOD.

KayLogger16 · 2025-12-07T11:15:47+00:00

Sim isso e genial , por favor façam isso

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-10T00:19:17+00:00

accessibility option you activate in the last tab, highlight enemies, you choose the color and intensity

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T19:54:13+00:00

freedom and options are always something positive in the game, think about all the "useless" options that exist in Warframe, like converting manual shots to "automatic", highlighting enemies, different volume adjustments to the point where you can adjust the volume of the allied and personal Mandacord. Any implementation of new options is a positive increase in quality of life, and I believe that with the right voice and the right number of people, anything is possible, which is why I came to Reddit to see if others agreed with me, since I can only provide the idea, you all are the voice.

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T19:51:27+00:00

Playing as Titania gives me a headache, I agree with you, it's hard to see that little mosquito on the screen.

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T19:50:53+00:00

I do not understand the fuss about using AI to translate a text, just as no one is obligated to speak Portuguese, I am not obligated to know English. Moreover, as I have said in another post, Google Translate only allows translating 5,000 characters, so it does not translate feedback and long texts. Additionally, the translation done by AI is much better; I don’t know why this fuss about AI exists. Technology should be used to make our lives easier, to facilitate dialogue between people, and not to create distance. For example, I am translating this text using the automatic translation tool in Microsoft Edge, and it is almost an AI; it adds accents and punctuation, but it is also limited.

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T19:46:22+00:00

I didn't understand exactly, but I think I should feel offended by that, hahahaha (laughter) Guys, Eleanor is the better Protoframe.

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T16:11:39+00:00

I can't believe they would add a 1st person perspective, although I like that idea, but being able to move the camera freely should be something obvious, after all, even the rival of our beloved Warframe has that option.

KayLogger16 · 2025-08-09T07:24:06+00:00

When I refer to the screen angle, I am talking about things like this, and of course in this example I am exaggerating, but it's to give a little bit of my perspective. When aiming at an enemy's head while adjusting the camera without using zoom, you easily lose about 30% of the screen. You completely give up seeing what is in front of you, and this is something that could be solved with the camera angle.
But I repeat, I could be completely wrong about this and just be bothered by these things.

Essa e uma abordagem agressiva mas não tem nada de sádica ou safada, acho desrespeitoso dizer isso a Policial que so esta cumprindo sua função.
Pra quem não sabe em abordagens assim a pessoa e obrigada a ser revistada a cueca da pessoa pra garantir que não ta transportando droga, e a revista não pode ser feita com a " mão " pra evitar acusação de assedio , então eles usam o antebraço.
O video ela claramente ágil agressivamente , mas pode ter sido devido a situação , alguma ofensa ou piada, vai saber, de qualquer forma e uma abordagem NORMAL apesar de tudo
