Nice idea but I would not go with (classic) RPG setting. For me, it is just extremely boring, with no innovations for decades now. RPG scene is
already saturated with almost countless titles and fanbase is already spread accros multiple high-profile RPG games. In short, I don't see many
people playing MMORPG-Coin if it does not push the boundaries on multiple fields including setting and content.
We need to start somewhere..
the limits of what we believe we can do are endless.. (but our pockets are not
although - the game is supposed to be simple (edit.. not as simple as possible)
if it became popular, and we got around some issues.. we can expect an android/ios version...
It may be that the game is completely text based, or you are just red and blue squares when it is released...
you could probably wrap anything around the game, from Fantasy to Space (if this is what you mean by classic RPG setting)...
example.. instead of a Wizard he is a Space Marine with a Gun...
i think Fantasy is ok...... but open to suggestions
The letters MMORPG is bordering almost incorrect for this game..
one of the points of the game is competition against other players to get as much of the block reward as possible.. almost like "being able to mine without expensive hardware".. getting money is Fun... if no one plays, it will be easy to get coins ( aka lower difficulty)
Content:
will be almost none... it will be player vs player.. there will be no NPCs...
I envision (simulated in my own mind ;d):
Chaos at first, people attacking everyone...
A player will get the Crown of Fortune and be chased to the ends of map until he needs to sleep or dies...
People will realize they need to make friends (or bring friends) and protect each others farms (harvest areas)..
Guilds may form (which will have the same effects as pools) - Websites can be created which will monitor all the guilds "income" (by monitoring block chain).. and maybe they have to pay a fee to the guilds "Fighters/Guards" for protecting the guild hall building which has been created as a place people can leave their characters..
Friends may backstab you to steal the crown of fortune, or to kill everyone in your guild hall (player made building) who are in fact all AFK (at work)
One group/guild may start dominating, and own the crown of fortune and a large harvest area.. eventually other people will join forces to attack them to stop them monopolyzing..
Mining Pools / Block Explorer can show the Map of the world... and maybe you can even play the game in a webbrowser of an exchange/pool.
just random thoughts :d
