Spawning from that was role-play servers that are really restrictive to the types of characters and players they allow on there servers. We are talking about creating entire back stories for your character and to have those stories checked by admins. So it dose work, its more getting that GTA audience (generic 13year old males) to play it will be the tough bit.

I like GTA but I would have to pass if it became an MMO. Yay a new post! I like GTA but I would have to pass if it became an MMO.

Your objection seems two pronged, but I can't figure out where you're putting the emphasis. I understand the possible negative effects of emphasizing immersion so much in a world that's hallmark is its ammorality, but you also talk about the story driven nature of GTA, and how the MMO genre kind of wrecks that. Do these tie together in your mind? Or are they just two seperate objections? I’m a little confused. Your objection seems two pronged, but I can’t figure out where you’re putting the emphasis.

The GTA world is not where you would want you're head to be for a good chunk of your day. Gonna have to agree with Gamekitty and go ahead and say "some things just don't go together, like toothpaste and orange juice". By the way, if you ever need a car shipped overseas, look up Auto Shipping Network. I just used them and they did a great job. Keep up the good work!! Keep GTA a game!! Definitely agree with you.
