The Questing system is the best hope for ever seeing RPGs. Building the space AND the adventure is probably too cost prohibitive right now. But adding quests to spaces is probably the way things will go for now. Watch, I’ll say that and next week Lockwood will come out with their all adventure space. I think they read my posts and just create things to prove me wrong. They are truly so superlative that I cannot estimate what they will come out with next. I’ll just be back here in the corner playing with my Demon War Horse.

Burbie, I love RPG as well. If you look at my video game collection it’ heavily represented. I was a Dungeon and Dragons fanatic as a kid and for me the Role Playing Games is just a really cool continuation of that. We are also a really loyal bunch of people, I mean how many Final Fantasy’s has there been? (not enough if you ask me!)I like yourself I would love to see RPG in Home.

Very nice article Burbie. I too would love to see RPG-styled games in Home. I think one problem is syncing everyone so they experience the same thing. Anyone with multiple PS3s will tell you that there are lags and other viewable differences between the consoles. Irem had a space in Japan where you fought skeletons and ogres alongside other avatars. It was obvious that everyone saw enemies in different places which makes coordinated attacks impossible. I would love to go on RPG game quests with friends, but there may still be some technical difficulties to implementing them in Home.
