More About MMORPG With Open Skill System
The players always need to somehow interact with the surrounding of the game world; without it, the computer games will have no dynamic and challenging part. When a character does not obtain new abilities through the levelling, or when each player has the same gameplay regardless of the performer actions, the game becomes too boring. Developers are solving this problem by adding a system of abilities. It can be released in the form of classes, where each role has strict rules and gameplay patterns, or in from of the open skill system. It's a sophisticated and flexible way of character development, where players can choose different abilities with no limits.
Usually, in MMORPG with Open Skill System players still can follow the classic role archetypes. For example, some players pick only defensive and damage skills to play the 'tank' role; even though the character can have additional abilities that have nothing in common with the chosen role. This system is also the best choice for players who like to play hybrid roles and experiment with the gameplay.
In some games, there is even no classic for RPG skill trees. Instead of that, players have a numerous amount of entirely different skills, such as cooking, fishing, dancing, shooting and moreover. Usually, when developers use this type of system, the levelling is quite complicated too. Often the skill level only can be increased if you use the ability more often than other ones. It means that you can't earn enough 'skill points' on the simple skills and spend it on levelling of more valuable ones — you should train exactly those skills that you want.
