Love the weapon creation system idea. Absolutely awesome. Actually, the whole thing is pretty cool.

But here's the question: who's going to make it and how are you going to make it?

Thanks!

And we are going to pitch the idea to a few companies/Developers/Indie Developers.
We are not making it, just coming up with the idea.

What do you have to keep them from just taking the idea? You don't have any copyrights, and all the game mechanics are things that have been done (not put together, but done) in other games.

It's intellectual property. It can't be used without the creator's consent.

Personally, I would just like to see the game made. Royalties or free lifetime membership or something for anybody who helped think of ideas would just be icing on the cake.

Well they better copyright this then. ;)

The thing is, most game studios already have a game concept staff, and to be honest, it is one of the easiest things to do when making a game. Besides, most of the time, the people in charge want to make a game based on what THEY think would be awesome, not what other people do. ;) Besides, a lot of this ambitious stuff would be cool, but the reason other MMOs do not have it is because it just does not work on a large scale.

To get people to make your ideas you have to pay them, however if you find someone with a common goal, you will find that things generally go better.

Whatever, it's fun to think about. Who cares if it will never work?

This idea is NOTHING compared to:

Microsoft EXCEL The MMO! (Online Multiplayer Spreadsheet)

AWESOME! Even Attack of the show hosts like the idea! Kevin wants to play it!

Seriously though, who doesn't want a level 60 spreadsheet?

You should be able to shoot anyone, but if you're wrongly shot, you go to a hospital or something, and the person that shot you goes to jail. You can't deliberately get in front of someone shooting at someone with a bounty though. If someone targets someone with a bounty in a crowded area, they risk hitting an innocent person. This would make people who have bounties on their heads just try to blend into the crowd, or use human shields. Just like real criminals.

Actually that is kind of the point.
We don't want people to just go around randomly shooting people.
If you shoot an innocent person (NPC) Then you get a bounty on your head.
