Why do MMO characters only have 1 finger per hand?

Recommended Posts

I'd love to have 5 rings per finger, cause then I could justify having multiple spouses in Wurm and we all know that's where this is going anyway.

And why are the rings always on the middle finger? 🤔

MMO characters only have 1 finger per hand for balance reasons.  If they had more, they'd be too top-heavy, and they'd fall over all the time, and nobody wants that.

something-something the original logic was more about enchanted rings having too much magic to be able to wear more than one per hand, despite being able to wear multiple rings
i.e in dnd you can wear multiple enchanted rings, but only one of them can be 'active'

Imagine having 5 rings per finger. Way too OP in any game. There is always a reason you chose "X" number of item slots in any game. Some have 4 slots like Chest, legs, Left hand and Right hand other games go into 20 different item slots (kingdom come deliverance did this I recall?). 

 

Always about balance.

that russian dude is us in Wurm.  somehow we manage to carry dirt and sand?  10 cool weapons? bunches of fresh picked fruit?  How do we hold all of those things at the same time, but not manage to put on a 3rd ring, lol.  It would be really fun for someone to take the art images for each item in our inventory and somehow glue them all to a character model, just to see how completely insane it really is.

It would actually be a fun change to have different character models for the different stages of burden, like the way a BSB changes at the 50% volume marker.

 

Edit:  PvP "get the fat man!"

Doubt there's a fat man.. but you might be wishing to get a person carrying a body of somebody else - fallen from your team? That alone is a good reason to get some visual pointer.. normally somebody carrying a BODY or 5 best-buy bags just going out of the store.. could be called out of a crowd that isn't carrying 5 bags.. or a corpse...🤔

 

A better question is.. why are hands ql50?

That just means we should have toe rings too.

It is easier to show them to your neighbor that way.
