Ya Know What'd Be Cool?

If FunCom would incorporate StoryBricks into AoC.

From what I've seen with Everquest Next, this would be a fantastic technology to integrate into the game.

I think lore behind pvp events is a "story brick" for sure

The events and environment that opens up with the StoryBrick technology is tremendous. If I am correct in the way I assume it works, it becomes almost like an off-the-cuff refereed game, like old-school D&D.

A lot of tasks normally performed by moderators or coders become aspects of the very environment. For example, in D&D-speak, an orc seed can be placed in a certain location with its parameters set to raid the nearby village and roads. Then, the game would start to build the orc-camp to do the job and the reactions of all the members are algorithmically controlled.

Then, the brick controlling the village can call for help and attract defenders and more, all controlled by the environment, with no human input except for placement and the initial settings.

Totally cool...
