Game idea: You are a NPC in a MMORPG

[Lightforce]

The humans play as NPC in a MMORPG and the real computer NPC's playing the MMORPG.
You can come up with more ideas, what the human NPC do all the time.
For example a human NPC class could be Quest Giver. Than at some point you level up to Tavern Barkeeper and so on.

They wouldn't be NPCs if you play them. But I like the idea it would be fun to see the AI fail at everything.

How could you be a "Non-Player Character" if your playing as it?

[Lusus Symphonia]

I'd be a lowly level begger asking new NPC players to fetch me piles of gold for trash white gear at the beginning of the game.

You play the life of a NPC and the A.I. play the mmorpg like humans.

Yes, some kind of, but I talk about a big MMORPG.

When you play a standard mmorpg, than all other none players are NPC's. The idea is that you such a NPC. Like a movie actor plays a role of something, he is not in real.

Maybe you can become in a high level, a mob, or endboss later.

I get this part, because that's what a NPC is.

Umm... what? That sentence makes no structural sense.

Acting and non-player characters are 2 completely seperate things. One is a real world thing where an actor plays a role of a character (aka is playing the character) and a NPC is something that isn't played by a real person, it's AI and computer based.

I want to be the first enemie that just stands around, doesn't attack and dies in one hit.

You want to be the target practice dummy? I want to be that NPC that sends you on that RNG quest that takes hours of grinding, just so when you return, I can ask for more.
