7) 'Going Postal' Option: We've all suffered the experience of becoming tired of an online game and quitting, letting our accounts languish in a state of limbo. Why not have the choice of going out in style? When a player decides he's sick of playing an online game, all he needs to do is click the `Going Postal' option that will grant him near god-like powers and invulnerability. He may then go on a massive killing spree for an hour, at the end of which his avatar explodes, taking out half the virtual surrounding environment. The player is then logged off and his account deleted. This 'Going Postal' feature may very well lure Players back to an online game just so they can go berserk in this style again, leading to new account creation and increased revenue.
i like this.
though 'star wars galaxies' sort of has this already, i know two guys that were there from day one and got jedi's quickly (couldn't have had anything to do with 14-hour days spent plugged in...), they only had three lives at the time and are capable of vast destruction.
this was years ago now, not sure if it's all changed. but the idea of charging into the enemy camp with no regard for saving your super-character, man that rocks.
