Why has their never been a life simulation MMO?
Games like Animal Crossing and Fantasy Life are huge and make shit loads of money.

This is the age of Combat=$$$
Game devs are so worried about making the combat in their games fun and engaging (Which they often fail at) that they forget to make any other part of the game good.
In Fantasy Life (A single player game) you can spend 100+ hours JUST being a crafter. As long as you go out and find the mats, you can just dedicate yourself to crafting the best items out there.
Why would you do this?
Because it's FUN crafting things in the game.
In any other game, you just hit a button and "Poof" there's your item. In Fantasy Life, there's an actual game in crafting the item. The better you do in the little mini game, the better the item is. This allows something that other games never allow for:
Player skill
In the games where crafting is just hit button>get item, player skill holds nothing in what item is made. This makes crafting boring.
Hell, fishing is probably one of the most intense roles in Fantasy Life.
MMO devs just won't make a game like we want, OP.
When all you want is a simple game and all you get is a combat centric action-MMO, you end up depressed.

Tell me if I'm wrong here, but aren't you guys just asking for a better RuneScape?
Like, RuneScape with Mini Games and player housing? Maybe Legend-of-Zelda style combat? (One button swings weapon, other button blocks/other skill)
>>330748381
Actually, yeah. That'd be perfect.
You'd have to make the world a little more interesting (Maybe caves to explore just for fun and forests you can really get lost in) But, yeah. That's the game I want.
The only thing keeping me from enjoying runescape is what this guy's talking about:
>>330748081
To mine you just click on stuff, to craft you just hit a button. Nothing big going on.

This has been my complaint with RuneScape as well.
>>330748381
You hit the nail anon.Now don't become a demon, please.

Minecraft tried this but we all know that went.

That's because there's no real progression system. You can get max-level gear in two hours.
On top of that, any attempt to implement a progression system now will have players in an uproar.
On top of that, everything's way to simplistic. The only time you ever die if you're not being retarded is if some serious bullshit happens.

Well if people cooperated too in real life and weren't greedy and abusive as hell, real life would be easy too.
But humans gonna be assholes.

Japan would probably do it if it were anime based
>>330750746
Why haven't they? It seems stupid not to.
>>330751812
give em time, I fully expect them to make basically something like SWG but in a highschool setting where classes are clubs and shit, but add in some content for some of the "fun" clubs which basically playout like those shitty golf and other sports mmos that are fairly popular in asian countries for some reason.
>>330746435
>implying
I 100% bet you weren't around for this gem you underage faggot
>>330752028
oh and open pvp with the in school rules being self moderated by student council or some shit, basically a mix of bully,anime and open world mmos
