The idea behind Concooktion is to make cooking a deep and rewarding part of an MMO as a content expansion. All too often cooking is extremely limited within most MMO's if it is an element at all. Often all it involves is finding a few scattered ingredients and combining them to a template to give players a health regeneration buff or something else meager. Concooktion is intent on changing this by making cooking a still optional but far more extensive part of an MMO.
Cooking would become more expansive in its execution. Cooks would be able to combine any combination of possible ingredients in the game world to both positive and negative effect, encouraging experimentation and exploration of the world in order to find secrets within the culinary arts, as opposed to relying entirely on preset recipes with explained effects. In order to make this experience more immersive and skill based, cooking would rely on techniques based around timing and order, as it does in real life. Over or under-cooking would have significant impact on the quality of the output, making cooking a true skill in which different cooks could be distinguished from one another and demanded accordingly. Since cooks would rely on exploring the world to reach their potential, this means that they would have synergy with traveling parties of fighters, trading their services for protection, benefiting both groups and allowing the players to aid one another mutually.
