Swaping posts. Its kinda usless. Yeah I got more people talking on the forum. Great but its only really usefull for a forum thats about to die. I like the idea that they would actually pay a poster to come in and help out, answer questions etc. Would probably help out growing forums alot.

rep for flubber for thinking of this.

I have a good idea that everyone could do. It is something that is far beyond my reach but if we all did it together it could be something fantastic!

A search engine;

But it is like a computer game;

It searches ecommerce sites and you can actually walk through a shopping mall that is like a computer game. You can sell space in it to big companies like virgin or tescos. when you register, for free of couse, you gain a charachter, you can personalize this character and walk around this mall/virtual world talking to people online and shopping in the virtual mall.
It would be as if you were actually shopping not flicking through pages of pictures but almost seeing the product for real.

well?

So what your suggesting is a incredibly high res mmorpg? That would take quite alot of computing power, but it would be so freaking cool! You would also have to have places where shoppers could just hang out, play, talk, etc. Probably a audio system included so you could talk to other people.

Oh ye, you can also implement a dating agency, where you can meet with people. They would have to pay of course. Also to make it fun you could add more reality to it. If you have no real money you can get a virtual job and earn virtual money which you can use to buy stuff. But to make it more real life you can also commit crime but if your caught by the online police you get stuffed in the virtual jail.

How could it be done - Java?

Wonderful..then I'll have more people to post on my forums..

FrozenDice · 10-06-2005, 16:43

To benf, those already exist. Look at "second life" a shoping one though is new.

benf · 10-06-2005, 19:38

Wow that is exactly what i mean, are there many more of these places around and how long has it been around?

FrozenDice · 10-06-2005, 21:07

If your talking about mmorpg's theres hundreds of them.

I was addicted to http://conqueronline.com for a few months. Whats really cool in that game is you can marry other players, build a house, quests, and theres no subscription fee.
