A True Path MMO (hypothetically fantasizing & brainstorming)

This is just a fantasy thread. No plans to make an animated professional Steam MMORPG game (or similar) are currently in place, so this is just to see what people would do with the idea if it was their choice, and they could do anything.

Imagine Path was a real MMO, similar to World of Warcraft, or Runescape, or something like that, but perhaps with 2D birdseye graphics. So live fighting, music, animation, quests, a main story, etc. What would you love to see in it? How would you handle some of the minigames, if it was up to you? What other games might you emulate?

I would definitely think some quests based off of paths would be pretty enjoyable. A human spots that a mystic doesn't match up to their reflection if they've taken a host, a shadow doesn't have a shadow, etc. It would also be fun to earn more abilities as time goes on, sort of like the pathfinder rp power so that you could blend more into the background and adapt.

The whole "you control the result of the game" is also one of the bigger reasons I stuck to Path, so I would love to for it to have an impact on an idea of a main story, too. A friend of mine recently introduced me to Detroit: Become Human and she was explaining to me that your actions allow you have different endings.

I'd rather love to see that happen! Though I don't use steam, but it'd still be a good idea in my opinion.

-I'd kind of like to see a characters job show up more often in things they'd do with npc's, experience gain, etc.
-Maybe make the shadow realm a bit more detailed for them, more things to do. I think the shadow realm would be a really interesting place to explore in a full game, you know, for the people who don't lose stats and experience going there.
-Like mentioned above, definitely keep the way characters actions influence things.
-Also mentioned above, since it'd be a visual thing going on too I think all the cool traits would be a fantastic way to make things extra interesting. As well as since the character customization would be even more noticeable.
