And here are some really interesting stuff imo. I hope there will come a time where something like this will be feasible in an AAA MMORPG.

In thinking about the UO resource system in recent posts (ED:links below), I also got to thinking about other things that we either wanted to or tried to get the NPCs to do. Today, NPCs have gradually evolved more and more towards being quest dispensers. Originally, we wanted NPCs that would give the illusion of life.
