 Symbeline is a competitive simulation game with enough dynamic elements to
 keep it unpredictable, like how roguelikes are more replayable than ARPGs.

 fun you remember is the friendship and fantasy you felt rather than the game

 true. the "massively multiplayer" aspect of WoW is about as important to the
 game as the "A" is in "ARPG".
 
 I can't help but feel like the "impromptu groups" functionality feels a bit
 better than matchmaker instancing... though anything worth running a group for
 in WoW after TBC was instanced >.>
 
 Honestly I think there's just too many games these days for people to really
 get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics
 (like EVE or Runescape)
 
 any ARPG MMOs are dead on launch, as you said. That design space is tapped
 out, at least for now, until someone comes along and makes it a deckbuilding
 roguelike or whatever. cough cough

 Steps to make a game waterfall style:
 
 Lay out all the data structures 
 
 Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
 
 Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
 like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
 
 Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
 graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job
 anyway

 One of those is a symbolic manipulation, the other is arithmetical. And
 symbolic manipulations are limited only by the symbols you use to express
 them, while arithmetic is grounded in logic.

 [2] players who played better should be compensated to a higher degree. no
 more than +/- 50-100% or so - this encourages players to "play their best"
 while also keeping the stakes relatively similar.
