Hey Everybody!
Who here has played or rembers the MMORPG Silk Road? It wasn't all that fun but there was one aspect of it I never forgot and I believe no other mmo has tried. There was a hunter/ thief/ trader secondary job class. Traders would use caravans to take goods at a slow pace from one city to another quite the distance away. Thieves would attempt to raid the caravans in order to steel the traded goods and sell for profit at a black market. Traders would hire hunters to protect their caravan for a % of the traded good profit at the end. It was a system that led to mass caravans, raids and community engament outside of cities. It gave incentive to get out the gates again and make money how you wish. I think and believe that system was amazing and I wish to participate again these endeavors but do not with to go back to a old mmo to do so. What are your thoughts? I used to run let's say a 1000 gold coin profit caravan and hire 4 hunters to protect me while 6 thieves grouped up to ambushes us on to lead another group of hunters and caravan to roll up with another group of thieves IN AN ALL OUT WAR FOR CARAVAN GOODS. The good times.
