Stupid busy mouse-killing job >.< lol
But back to the topic, and possible game solutions...
The way the community stands at the moment - time is the problem... Noone (or few people) have enough time to put lots of effort into a game - ie MMORPG... So it stands to reason that the next game the community champions would be a game where you can pick it up for 20mins when you have free time - the trouble is that eliminates alot of the big titles.. The reason we were so successful with rico was because it's a game where playing in 20 mins bursts will still keep your skills to the level where you're fairly competitive with everyone else, but with big games like cs:s if you only play 20mins a day, you're going to get raped by the guys who play for hours on end.
Now since I've not been around all month due to moving etc, I don't know what games are being released or whatever. So I'll simply ask anyone with the knowledge to suggest some "underground" games (so there's no "pro's" like in css) that are simplistic (like rico is) and don't require mass amounts of time. I've seen the TF2 and Fortress Forever being mentioned - of the 2 I'd say FF would be the better choice, due to TF2 having those pesky "pro" players with 10 hours a day spare.
So thus far, FF I think is the best choice.. But I'm sure there's going to be lots of other choices.
Any other suggestions?
