Back in my childhood I used to play quite the amount of MMORPGs(mostly because they were free, but also because they were online).
|
||
|
|
The more time passed, the less MMORPGs I got to play, most of the good options were either shut down
|
||
|
|
or got SUCH a power creep I lost interest in them(like MapleStory when they started adding a lot of overpowered classes).
|
||
|
|
As an aspiring game developer, I hope to one day attempt making my own MMORPG, and something which is (sort of) important to me
|
||
|
|
is for the game to be decentralized/federated.
|
||
|

<p>
|

|

Well, you see, whenever I look for alternatives to big centralized services(like Github or social medias),
|
||
|
|
it always seems to me that the best choice is to decentralize and federate it. That way, anyone can create their own instance
|
||
|
|
and not miss out on everyone else, allowing both greater control to the individual, while also sharing the costs between those
|
||
|
|
who host their own(and those who decide to donate them).
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Besides, there are some useful advantages to federating a bunch of servers in an MMO which will hopefully become clearer later on.

Mainly, there will be 2 different types of servers:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#hubs">Hubs(or Home servers)</a> - Home servers you can register on and play with everyone else</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#dungeons">Dungeons(or Nodes)</a></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|

My idea of decentralized/federated MMO involves quite the amount of trust,
|
||
|
|
trust between federating servers(federation will be opt in to allow greater control over gameplay),
|
||
|
|
and trusting clients to not lie when they go into a dungeon.
|
||

<h2 id="hubs">Hubs</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Hubs(or Home servers) are the main servers of the network, they are the main authority over your account.
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Hubs have an overworld with stuff to do(or maybe not), and where you meet other players and can make parties,
|
||
|
|
communicate with others, trade and all the usual stuff people do in MMOs(like a dance party).
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Federation between hubs is a 2 way opt in federation, which means both servers need to accept the federation for the federation to exist
|
||
|
|
(probably accept the federation by creating a portal somewhere in the overworld).
|
||
|
|
Federated servers also needs to sync any plugins/mods/addons which create new items
|
||
|
|
(or anything you can transfer between servers, so a hat needs to by synced but a new boss doesnt need to).
|

<h2 id="dungeons">Dungeons</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Dungones(or Nodes/Edges) are sub-servers, they are simply a dungeon/map for a party to explore/play in,
|
||
|
|
and are to be the main content of the game.
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Dungeons dont federate with each other(and technically dont federate at all), but hubs can link to them and allow their
|
||
|
|
players to go into a dungeon and get the rewards from it(or optionally, modify the rewards to better suite the server).
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Dungeons occur in private instances available only to the exploring party.
