It would be great to play a mission or roam the world and have an encounter with a God. It does not have to be recogniseable, it can be a villager, or animal, or misterous stranger in robes - and (this is the trick!) a real admin behind commands. So, it would be a "frog" thing. Admin logs in the game, select god incarnation (let us say that balthaasar is always robbed figure with a sword, so rumors can start and spread) and than joins random mission or province, and can help random people by giving them blessings, helping in combat or quiz them and reward with gifts. Also, there could be "bad admin" who chalanges teams and players have to fight him. If they win, "god incarnation" vanishes and they recieve award, and if admin win by using it's goldlike superpowers, than... players are transformed into halflings for half an hour, and have red clown-nose... or something...
This would start an avalanche of rumors (who had seen which God, where and when) and youtube videos, and attribute to diversity and randomness of the game. Of course, you could meet God only on rare occasions, not always, so that could be something "special" you could think of and hope for...
- Why this is a good idea
- Because you can get help when you least expect it
- It gives you something random and fantastic to talk/brag about
- It's very cool as long as it's not overused by admins and stay rare encounter, something from myths and rumors
- Give developers cool feature to enter their own game, interact with players and become part of the world itself
- Why it may not work out
- After some time developers could get bored or refuse to pay someone to do this stuff once in a while... but that can be resolved by rewarding players with god-incarnations for 10 minutes and sending them to random position ingame, after reaching some special title later in game, but preventing them from taking loot while in god-state... OR makeing NPC God-incarnations that occur every friday 13th on random mission/province...
- Misuse and overuse? Dont really know, seems to me as cool thing
