Could this be a good campaign?

Oh, and this would be a Die in the Game Die in Real Life kind of deal.
>>44442499
It is an interesting setting.
But how would you compose a party out of paranoid superpowered assholes?
>>44442625
Isn't that what high level D&D/Shadowrun/GURPS/anything is anyways?
>>44442625
Start them at the begining
Informal guilds

I'd definitely play a Druid in that game if I had foreknowledge of what would happen. Sounds fun, except for the part where PVP gives EXP since I haven't seen a single game that does that.
>>44442499
it would be interesting, but not necessarily fun
It would depend on how it ended up being ran. I could see it ending up as a post apocalyptic vibe, with after the whole murder frenzy people having to figure out how to live in a world they have zero experience in.
I just got the mental image of a large band of players gathering to defend a small handful who actually fished/farmed/brewed while it was still a game and now are the only ones who can actually feed themselves and otheres.
I wonder how it would end when you realize some idiot by then would have figured out the duplication glitch prevalent in most/all games at one point.

Sounds like your typical roleplay group.

Nigga have you played any big name MMOs in years?I don't blame you if that's a "no", they're pretty shit these days.

I think that'd be a very unique and interesting campaign. It'd let you do a lot of creative things with the setting, since the game world wasn't really designed to be "post-apocalyptic," but has gradually become somewhat like it over time.
Some idea I have for the setting:
In-universe, make long time delays between each dungeon, so that stories and 'culture' can develop outside of everyone frantically rushing to complete the dungeons
I'd suggest having different factions form, with different goals and such. Maybe one is obsessed with completing the dungeons, and kills indiscriminately to gather food and strength, all for the 'greater good' of completing the dungeons and staving off the apocalypse. Maybe another could be a group of players who are trying their hand at farming, who are trying to survive until their crops grow/defend them from hungry other players. Maybe another is a faction headed by a single dictator who has managed to obtain a large secret cache of food, and is using it to compel obedience out of his followers. And of course there's going to be lots of lone wolfs and groups of 2-4 roaming around.
Anyways, feel free to use or not use any of my ideas, just be sure to make sure its great!

Never seen an MMO plot go like this, could be good.
Surprised it's not getting much traction.
What if you threw in some fetish bait? What if there were like, Primordial Beasts that show up every once in a while with special souls. Killing them allows you to open up unique powers, transforming your body in the process.

You cannot kill that which is already dead
