so, the announcement of PFO has me pretty excited. i haven't actually been interested in an MMO since back when Earth and Beyond was still around.
so, as the game is still in development, i think it would be a Good Thing (TM) to do some community brainstorming for things that we, as would players, would like to see in the Online game that could enhance or support Pathfinder Society.
one of the most obvious ideas that jumps out at me is the ability to earn special boons for PFS characters based on accomplishments in the game. i'm thinking that there would be way to send pdf's to subscribers when they achieve said goals. now, of course i see that there could be some possible abuse with this sort of system, but i think if boons were kept to small benefits, like those in the holiday chronicles, or time-sensitive, they could be pretty easily managed.
i'm sure some people will have a knee-jerk reaction to the thought of people that play the online game getting benefits that people that aren't playing don't get, but i think the idea is a good one to discuss.
who else has some ideas?
Wow, I'm mean... wow. I left DDO and came to Pathfinder to get away from the epic numbers that MMOs have (2000+ greatsword crit dmg/20,000+ dmg lit bolt). I wish Paizo the best of luck with this, I really do. But I don't see it ending well.
Many roads lead to failure and the only road Turbine found that lead to success killed the D&D aspect of DDO. I hope that whoever is developing this MMO doesn't have to kill the Pathfinder aspect to present it as a video game. :(
What makes Pathfinder Pathfinder for you then? What elements are required, for you, to say "This is a Pathfinder game"?

I for one dont want to see ANY involvement in PFS in PFO or vice versa - they should be completely spearate things & have no influence on each other in any way, shape or form
so, out of curiosity, do you also think that there shouldn't be any crossover between the Pathfinder Tales line and PFS? What about the Pathfinder Modules and PFS? I'm just wondering where you would draw the line between what product lines interact with which other product lines.
personally, i think paizo's ability at cross-marketing their products without going overboard is one of their strengths, and if they were to do it with PFO, i'm sure that they would do so in a pretty good way.
