It's not that a gun based RPG wouldn't work. (look at Grand Theft Auto) It's just that it's not cut out for Zone and there is nowhere near enough thought put into this idea for it to work well.

There is an online game that is entirely based on shooting yet it has RP elements where you can buy clothing and armor and better weapons and items and stuff. The name of the game starts with a G and ends with "unz". But again, it's in a totally different environment and there still isn't much roleplaying involved.

It's just not as simple to make an MMORPG based on shooting guns.
