Well about the loot .
I don't think that would be too big of a problem just use potion ingredients of the creature/monster/ect that you kill and make a class that can make potions or something. (I'm thinking of the ragnarok alchemist class but, I'm not sure I'm right as I've never played it myself.)

I've never played WoW so I don't know what's wrong with it, but It's kind of oblivious that the game is going to need some things to be different from the book, No?

But as i'm more a only a newbie in mmorpg's like these then a real hardcore fan I could be completly wrong.

I has also tought of other things to say but it seems I've forgotten ...

 

Questing will suck because it will like collect Hagrids furry shit or find jelly beans and trade them in for a wizard card.

my one problem with WoW is all the fairy colorful bullshit. Harry Potter MMO would have even more of that shit, like collect jelly beans and turn them in for a wizarding card which gives +1 to intelligence, and you need +5 intel to pass your OWLs. There would be no traversing dark environments to collect ingredients for a dark ritual, because the makers will target it at the general preteen audience.

IF the makers made some serious spells and classes and dark vs. light choose your own path stuff, i would try it. Still, the spell system will still be the same old same old.

What would happen is that the makers would expand the spell system to give the various 'paths' or classes the usual D&D / WoW spells, just with latin names. You know, direct damage, damage over time, crowd control, stun, slow. It would be like WoW minus all the melee or hunters. PvP would just be standing and spamming patterns of spells. Macro them to your keyboard. Force your GF to be your light healbot and you press 22343223221223227222622252224225, while strafing around.

And you need melee dps, melee tank, ranged dps caster, ranged agility/dex, healers, utility for any good mmorpg. Harry Potter so far has caster.

The Choose your own path aspect will be what makes the game. The one problem I see is that the makers could confine it to Hogwarts, and I don't want to fucking go to school. It needs to be adult characters as well, or as you level your characters grow, so you can get done with Hog and go become an auror/dark lord/philosopher/medic/assasin/dragonhandler/quidditchpro.

 

Don't minimod, HPB! Don't do it...

WTF, dude? Was there any possible reason to revive this topic? We already said it wasn't going to happen, and we have had multiple threads like this. Was giving your uber World of Warcraft-esque knowledge really worth all the shit you're probably going to get?
