On Immersion

I don't mind getting PKed or being disturbed by whoever. I don't wanna play Hello Kitty and I'm not here on the forums to complain about anything, but I do not see how having to craft arrows/bullets and keeping track of the numbers that you have make this game any more "hardcore". 


It's called immersion. A highly interactive virtual world creates immersion. Immersion makes the game something really worth playing, something memorable. Ask UO and EvE players. Even 16 years after UO died on official servers, they have so many epic stories to tell. Why? Because their game was highly interactive, which allowed for them to create history themselves.


Ammo, reagents, etc are small parts of this immersion. Open PvP and full loot are some bigger parts.

See? The guy can't even see how keeping track of arrows and bullets makes the game more hardcore. Yet at the same time he tries to convince us he does not want to play Hello Kitty Online. And while I don't have any problems with Hello Kitty, I'm very concerned that mmorpg developers nowadays cater to the loud, hysterical crowd that doesn't even know why a good RPG does not have infinite ammo /arrows/reagents, and doesn't have you run around shoot infinite fireballs out of your ass.
