@vitalik.eth would you play a web3 WoW private server?

… if so DC me or reply here!

From your article:

“The answer for (iii) is simple: don't just make a coin, make a game. But make an actually meaningful and fun game. Don't think Candy Crush on the blockchain; think World of Warcraft on the blockchain.”

Raising $100M for an onchain MMORPG | Game Designer

@jessepollak I was kinda kidding about the mmo, but at the same time I’m not.

We have a team if this ever comes up in conversations!

Would probably be about $100M over 3-5 years to build. 

Also, @vitalik.eth the team would promise not to mess up warlocks again

I’m a game designer at Market Wars. Open beta coming January!

Would love to have you test it. Feel free to DC if you want details.

1) As of now the web3 parts are:
- NFT items
- Web3 marketplace with @game7 token

The biggest opportunity web3 brings to a concept like this is a business model around incentivizing trading and emergent economies and taking a small part of that. An example of an emergent economy could be creating a DAO that does runs for tokens and distributes profits proportionately. Or maybe a bounty to defend from gankers. 

2) There will be new content in the sense that everyone will get gathering professions and one crafting. All gear now has uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary versions. All of this revolves around vastly expanding the economy aspect of the game.

Happy to show you around sir. Of course open to any ideas or feedback!!

I think that would be really cool to have!

Questions:

1. What are the web3 bits? Is the web3 actually helping or is it just being a gimmick?
2. Can we have new content and new player abilities, class rebalancing, etc? eg. IMO wow classic is generally good and the game gets worse over time, but the fact that survival hunters are nonviable is a bug and should just be fixed

Could probably do a _lot_ with AI tools
