I want pvp for bitcoin.

Did somebody say this is possible in dragon's tale?

like as in, player vs player, lets kill each other with spells and attacks in this more complex game of rock paper scissors that involves strategy wow style?

god that'd be awesome.

is it very balanced?

There still is a game like this.  It had "dragon" in the name I think.  It is exactly an MMO "with a hardcore gambling casino element" containing various stakes - from super-micro (ksat) to nosebleed (100's-1000 btc) gambling areas.  You walked around and played a variety of games - both vs the house or player vs player and win (or lose) various amounts [depending on the stakes played] of BTC for it.

FTFY

This mmo/casino isn't for everyone, but some may enjoy it and it has been growing by the day. Levels are attained by completing sets of gambling tasks and the reward for advancing your level comes in the form of increased rakeback %.  And it is not uncommon to see people winning big jackpots playing it. In the last few weeks, there have been numerous multi-thousand dollar US jackpots won - both before and after the market "crash."

I dont get satoshi dice. so you send money to the address you want to bet on and that it? not much fun. wish there was a craps game that you could buy in with a bit coin or two and it gives you like your 5-10-25-100 chips and play like you would in casino. that satshi dice game is boring ... send money to address..... wait a couple min...look up block chain ...you loos one bit coin. realy thats it . no push the botton and see your luck number ......im probably playing it wron. all in know is that i loose

I normally lurk here, but there is a wish I can grant. https://bitzino.com/craps

I am no way affiliated with them(i don't even know how to play craps, lol).  I have played blackjack on there and they are a safe site.  But there are a TON of bitcoin gambling sites.

Yeh! Dragon Tale.

Seems like it never hit off tbh

why should a game company adopt bitcoin when they can create their in-game currencies out of thin air?

they might even achieve significant real value.

heck, it might even be a business model. See OpenCoin and XRP (Ripple).

I honestly don't see gambling helping Bitcoin in any way shape or form :x

guilds could charge admission fees

I know from my personal experience with WOW that this would cause a disaster. You'd get big guilds that would charge to get into their core raiding team, and take non-core players into raids and dump them after locking them to the instance when a "core" player that paid comes in. There are many servers that you already have to essentially pay gold to guild owners to raid in, which is not fun. Having to pay real money would just be dumb.

I could see the next wow being 100% free and funded by microtransactions.

People could pay people for items with real currency. People could pay to be run through dungeons and such while leveling. guilds could charge admission fees. and a tiny little bit could be taken from each transaction to fund the devs.

I love it.

To be honest, I would rather see that these kinds of implementations would not go online on a large scale in a few years. It would possibly spread a lot of misunderstanding among people, making a lot of them think that Bitcoin is just as WOW-gold. However, when/if Bitcoin reaches mainstream acceptance and people are better educated, then it would be great (and unavoidable?).

Entropia Universe was the first game that came to my mind when I saw this topic. In fact I have tried to make them accept bitcoin as deposit option and they even replied claiming that they where having "developers working on it", but I'm suspecting it may have been some sort of standardized reply since nothing has happened since.

What would be really cool is a clone of entropia (and honestly I prefer the older version of entropia compared to the new one, maybe the old engine/version could be purchased, heh ? ) using BTC as money instead of PED. I wouldn't really want to convert bitcoins into peds (dollars) atm due to the value appreciation of btc, but if there was a game such as entropia where balances was in BTC I would really consider playing that despite not really being much of a gamer.
