MMORPG distribution through Wifi possible?

[Neumie]

I just though of something.
MMORPGs could be distributed through wifi. You wouldn't need to by a game, it could be downloaded to you every time you want to play. There is a game called runescape on the PC which is about 4megs in size and runs on an internet browser. 4megs over boradband is very little time to wait till you can play. Assuming companies could broadcast signals that the DS can pick up on it could be a very good way to distribute small games. you would probably have to pay a monthly fee (although Runescape is free) but it could be great if it happens.
Your thoughts?

i never thought of that... that would be awesome.

well, depending on your connection, Runescape can be horrible

[ShadowMarth]

Yeah... With my old computer RS was really choppy and bad, and my computer easily exceeded the specifications. Lag sucks. I have stopped playing runescape anyway. Hehe, world of warcraft.

You get the idea though. Something like that. Would be a great way to distributr MMORPGs or other games. Or you could have a steam like system. Runescape runs fine for me on a 56k mind.

Wouldn't this be kind of like Animal Crossing DS if that was online?

Free games over Wi-fi would be amazing! MMORPG's especially.

Hmm. I would be happy to have a D&D type online board game RPG, even though I wasn't a big fan of D&D. I think it would work really well with the touch screen, graphics, and onine.

i dont think that would work, because u would have to download everytime u wanted to play it cause it wouldnt stay on the DS. unless there is an update for the DS that u can download where it has a section where u can keep downloaded games is the only thing i would think could make this work.

Err... I meant a cheap game that you could play online. Probably $20-$30. Of course, for that you could only need offline for tutorials...
