[QUOTE="PugioilAudacio, post: 1583705, member: 16042"] I would have loved to see the boards as they were before. While I have only started coming to ENWorld within the past six months, I know what you mean about the game in general. It seems that some of the creativity and energy is dying out. I think a major "somthing" is in order to inject some life back into the hobby. What? I have no idea. Just "something". Though I hesitate to say it, maybe some sort of D&D/computer integration might be in order? The major component that D&D (and all RPG's) have going for them is the limitless possibilities - anything can happen. In this age of internet and computing, people are heading more for the graphical games than for RPG's*. I wonder, if one were to create a form of MMORPG that allowed for DM's to use a 'world builder' to form their own worlds for their players to interact in - how would this go over? Something like Neverwinter Nights does right now, only more streamlined, more customizable, and more everything.... This is just an idea I had. Really, I have no idea what needs to be done, only that something does - as is often the case:) * I have no idea how many (RPG) gamers there actually are compared to computer (RPG) gaming, but the shift is obvious.
