you can't save something that's lore has been r*ped into the ground.

Noice. I'm an amateur dev researching making an MMO. What kind of setting do you find most appealing for one?
Thomas Cox
You started from the wrong place.

Its going to be DOA like 99% of other indie multiplayer games that require large playerbases.
Gabriel Edwards
You can't. People are getting tired of playing with other people (see: Holla Forums, non main stream YouTubers, non main stream Twitch users). They love the grind whether they admit it or not, but when you start introducing other players, you heighten the entire party's chance of success or failure. A lot of people would rather stick to trial-and-error gameplay or a strict power grind.
In other words, focus on that grind and make it something NOT IN A TOLKEIN-INSPIRED FUZZY FAIRY PIXIE FUCK WORLD FOR ONCE, CHRIST WHY IS THIS THE GO TO FOR FANTASY FICTION WRITERS ARGHHHHHH

And additionally, don't do a top-down isometric. It will be thrown onto the pile.

Mercy killing.

The setting doesn't matter as much as one thing, the gameplay.
For the love of fuck, if you make it please don't copy the WoW style of combat. Go with something actually fun and original.
