Migrations, even stampedes….now THAT is Ai.

MObs right now, in almost every game, are abysmally stupid; even a few simple modifications to make their behavior seem more dynamic would be a huge improvement. The Storybricks people have been talking about this for some time; indeed, that’s what Storybricks is, far as I can tell.

Nor do I think that a PvE sandbox is something totally out of left field; we had such things, back in the day, at least to a greater extent than now, and I think it’s only the standout example of EVE that’s made players of late redefine “sandbox” in terms of PvP.

I realize your post in tongue-in-cheek, but I see these as obvious innovations. Besides, we’ll have to see whether Smed can come through on what he said over the weekend, and any details are a long way off.
