>the laws of physics would need to be broken to make something better
Yeah pretty much. And if it did woopty fucking doo, you beat a record from like 15 years ago and most likely will not be able to have a fraction of the staying power. Even if you boiled down "better" to an mmo with a paid sub in similar price achieving more concurrent players than wow at it's peak I don't think it'll happen still, the interest is gone on both sides of the fence. If the so called savior of mmos, ashes of creation actually delivered on everything and wasn't a blatant scam. yeah it all sounds really awesome, but the idea that it's so dependent upon constant interlocking player interaction, player driven this and that, that it wouldnt be able to pull consistent numbers to achieve that long term before the locust swarm went back to their main games. I'm playing classic anni now and if anyone thinks vanilla is/was a timesink but looking forward to ashes, just lol.
