Re: A "me too" game or revolutionary? "revolutionary".... so many revolutions have come about by introducing old concepts at the right time to make them seem new or just better.
But that aside, the one thing I see different from other MMO's from what we have discussed here is that there will literally be two "mirrors" of Layonara running at the same time: the one that includes those players who wish to have a real affect on the world, and the one for those who wish to become uber-1337 and simply explore/hack/level. What's even niftier is that those in the "hack mirror" get to experience the changes made by the players in the "RP mirror." What this says to me is that we may be the first MMO community that gives real incentive to casual gamers to become Role-Players and invest in the world. They will see be able to see the changes made, learn about those changes, explore why they happened, and in so doing perhaps become curious as to how they could do the same thing, how they could affect the world.
This is the concept I am envisioning, anyway. We'll see how it actually pans out. But that, to me, is "revolutionary." Other MMO's have had RP servers, but have those playing on that server truly had a changing effect on the world?
