You see those innocent level one neutral-con critters that every MMO has running around in the background acting as part of the scenery?
In my MMO, whenever a player killed one of those critters, a fifty tonne version would fall from the sky onto the player’s head, squashing them flat.
And then explode.
I like that thought but I thin I would add more of a RP flavour to it: Killing a level 1 bunny spawns a level 99 Killer Rabbit of Carebannog.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your MMO.
I wish…
Back in the day (in WoW) you could skin those critters and level your Skinning skill. Also, when you skinned a dead sheep, you would sometimes get Wool.
Perhaps we could take mbp and Cap’n John’s thoughts and tweak things slightly:
Whenever a player kills one of those critters, they are transported to an alternative dimension populated by giant level 99 Killer Rabbits of Carebannog, which run around one-shotting and skinning the player characters at random.
And sometimes getting wool.
(Non-sequitur sentences ftw!)
Sounds like a euphemism to me.
Non sequitur euphemisms for twice the win.
If this were to happen, I would spend a lot more of my time in game killing critters, I can tell you that much.
Ooh. One of my favouritestestest games has a feature very similar to that.
It’s an ANSI turn-based Nethack derivative called T.O.M.E.
>.> If you kill a defenceless mold (I think that was the name, me senile, don’t quite remember), a HORDE of elder dragons spawns, and believe me, they aren’t pushovers. (Unless you’re wildly abusing some game features anyway…) Oh. And unless you abuse other features, you only get one life per character. Dead is dead.

>.> Check it out, it’s worth trying, honest! What other game lets you play a mold! (Yes, you can play a mold of DOOM. A DEATH MOLD! And yes, it’s as odd as it sounds…)
