I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

Yeah, that's why I think we're in an MMO slump right now. The only companies who can afford the scale "need" it to be a cash cow. So they need really predictable methods of generating income, which means not doing anything too interesting. I'm hoping one day we'll get past that. I think we have the technology right now for indie devs to roll out a semi-affordable MMO of decent quality, but I also don't want the market to be flooded with garbage MMOs. We already have too many of those.
