SC2Mapster

@Eiviyn: No, actually on page like 27 when I was searching for something....did that a couple times yesterday. Need to stop doing that heh. @Nebuli2: Yeah I checked it out last time you recommended it to me. The version I played was just about unplayable. Went to your site and it looks amazing....just wish is in more of a completish state. My statement was more meant towards ORPGs that are completed or further along. Maps like tal'darim, Templar RPG, Valhalla, Braxxon....while good maps and lots of work went into them, there is no innovation, just the same old stuff. Kinda feels like the F2P mmo's out there, same stuff with a different look. It's a well known fact that a really decent ORPG is impossible to make due to restrictions and limitation. Instead of changing things and innovating to make something truly amazing that will work, map makers stick to a poor design and we get 20 ORPGs that are just about identical.

I find ORPG's in the SC2 univers to be extremely annoying because it doesn't seem like anyone tries to innovate. I don't know where people get an outline or 'the list' of things that are required of an ORPG but I think if they threw half of it out the window and came up with something better/easier.....a lot more would actually get released and gain popularity faster (assuming they added/changed something that made it more fun than the typical ORPG). Aside from that though, I think everyone that doesn't have experience with the editor should at least attempt to make an ORPG. I know I wouldn't know (or even care to know) half of what I do now if I hadn't started my own ORPG. That 'list' is huge and can teach you a lot.
