Thread: Content Idea
This probably isn't the appropriate forum to discuss this, but I wanted to throw this out to my fellow padawannabes before I went elsewhere with this.
I don't know how many of you are bothered by the lack of content in this game, but I have a suggestion for how to generate more. If the devs only have a limited amount of time and imagination and can only come up with so much (not trying to throw stones, but just saying that any group of people is going to be limited in what they can produce), why not open it up to the fans?
There's a book, published annually, called the "Writer's Market," which lists thousands (I believe) of publishers just waiting for the next "Bridges of Madison County" (which, by the way, was Robert James Waller's first submission ever). No video game publishers, though. Why not?
It seems to me that if I were a video game publisher looking for story ideas to help revitalize my ailing MMORPG, I'd at least consider asking the fans. Heck, if I held a contest in which the grand prize was something like a free lifetime membership, 10,000,000 in-game credits, enough free in-game experience to become a Jedi Knight (or even master) from day one, or a starring role in that story, I'd be getting off extremely cheap. The devs they're employing now to come up with those stories they have to pay real money to.
