physics rarely matters for MMOs. The biggest MMOs like wow have almost no physics at all - just gravity and occasionally a single force vector being applied to a perfectly rigid, non-rotating object in a frictionless environment.
- Periodic 17y agoIt seems that most MMOs, at least of the fantasy variety, tend to ignore physics. Mobiles have maybe three speeds, stopped, walking, and running and transition instantly between them. Jumping is just a pre-programmed arc that may have checks for colliding with other objects. Fall speed tends to be constant and non-accelerating. However, space-based games would likely require a little more physics to be interesting.
