A MMO gamers dream…
Sometimes I wish that every single F2P MMORPG was easily accessible on ONE website. I’m not talking about an MMORPG Review site like MMOHut – I’m talking about one massive MMORPG game publisher. Instead of Aeria Games publishing 8 or so games and OG Planet 4, Gamers First publishing 5 – imagine ALL of these games being published on ONE site. There are easily 120+ free to play games out there so this would make sense. I mean, just like at this huge list of MMORPGs. Some of you may be asking – who cares or why? Well – the reason is simple. As a hardcore MMORPG gamer myself – I’m getting a bit tired of having to make new accounts at every single game publisher. Right now, I’m playing Dungeons and Dragons Online quite a bit over at Turbine, but if I wanted to start playing… say Shaiya or Last Chaos I would need to make an account over at AeriaGames. If I wanted to play Cabal Online or Rumble Fighter I would need to make an account over at OG Planet. I don’t know about you – but keeping track of a few dozen username and passwords for all of my various accounts is NOT something I find desirable.
The ‘solution’ to this… whacky system would be some sort of ‘universal’ log in where MMORPG gamers could make ONE account somewhere and use that account on EVERY SINGLE free to play MMORPG Game. It’d be interesting if one game publisher just published every single game, but that likely won’t be happening anytime soon – so the only real way to accomplish this would be some third party service (Hopefully free!). It would sort of like the OpenID of free to play MMORPGs. If you haven’t heard of OpenID – it’s a service that basically lets you create an account with them and lets you use that account at thousands of different websites (Like Yahoo, AOL, Google, BBC, Myspace and many many more!). I’m surprised that no such standard exists for this market yet – as I’m personally fed up with having to micro manage dozens of accounts. What makes the current system even more confusing is that sometimes games like NosTale, Lunia and LaTale have multiple publishers, which can only add to the confusion.
Well i am making that site .. that solution i don’t want my kids to suffer day after day looking for games to play..
am almost finished the list and soon will be ready for public eyes in probably a week or so until then cross your fingers… but not to hard or you might not be able to play games anymore lol :P

Good luck. Sounds like a winning idea, if you do it properly, which I am sure you will.
hmm good idea, might call for independent Authentication protocols.
As alot of MMORPGS i have played don’t all have the same account creation and or account security behaviors. but it sounds like a solid idea/project…might take alot of following up as well, to get permissions for your site to interact with the mmorpg specific site.
also , it may also make a bit of money , as you could probably be able to pass off the account creation for multiple games as being the referrer. know what i mean? either money or freebies lol?
but I guess I would research to see if its been attempted and if so, the success rate of completion due to the possibility of legal loopholes or others etc. The idea it self seems smooth, but in action will it be so simple?
Thats just my 2 centz, I’m a programmer and do alot of web design, and have run into the most unusual problems you wouldn’t imagine running into. BUT…its all experience i must say, you goto make mistakes to improve. so i always say its worth a shot, rather then pointing out all the negatives and tossing it out the window.
actually what might be good to have a look at is a system similar to say a article submission application, what it does is you put all your details in , and it auto registers to all or most of the article submission sites.
once it registers, you can use that login to auto submit to all of the sites that you successfully registered with. this system can give you a basic overview of the mechanics of mass registration?
This hole time ive been testing games lol and am almost done its be done next month it will be the biggest list eveer ^^
so you will be just able to mass register with one login ?
Ok its complete ill post on the fourms today!
