Wild West Online

[Steelgrave]

After very positive press and "overwhelming" interest, WWO (sounds like a wrestling organization when I do that!) has received additional funding from original investors and is skipping any crowdingfunding or Kickstarter efforts as well as Steam Early Access and is going straight into development. Color me hopeful.....

Let's see if they put in Native Americans.

This would definitely be my bag.  Baby.

Let's see if they put in Native Americans.

I'd imagine they'll eventually be included as character customization options, regarding skins & such, at some point.  Domestic options should be easy to implement inititally. 

Some tribal types will probably be used as hostile "mobs" in the wilderness areas though, along with Bandits/Banditos.  It's not an MMO without stuff trying to kill your digital self in the wild!

Should put in dysentery too.

They need to tread lightly in their portrait of native Americans. Remember..."Tonto" means stupid, and that little bit of racism persisted for a very, very long time.

In an conflict-heavy MMO representing western frontier living survival, I don't see a problem in having both friendly and enemy natives.  I'd expect some mix of it, even loosely based on the historical setting, just like any other group portrayed in such a theme.

I seriously doubt someone will be naming a whole historical tribe/town/nation/culture "stupid" in a new MMO, for more than one reason.

Sounds like you can blow your filthy lucre on hookers in Wild West Online.  Maybe some other stuff, too.   ;D

I bet the Hot Coffee wasn't too fresh, back in those days!

Still wish this wasn't MMO. If it were like Skyrim I'd buy it full price on release.

[Steelgrave]

^Agreed. I mean, unless it's a PVP slaughterfest I'm gonna buy it anyway, but I would prefer a non-MMO format myself.

[Father Ted]

I sure do like the idea of the setting, but I'll wait to see what the actual gameplay's like before striking a claim (or something)
