Encourage players to work as a team. Instead of just standing next to each other both hacking away, make it so you have to actually communicate so people can form connections.

For example you could have 2 switches and different players have press them at the same time to open the door. Or a melee class that doesn't deal fire damage could have an attack that buffs fire damage dealt by the party. So people will actually have to talk about which abilities they will use and feel like they are involved in something.

Awesome idea kayeto. I would really like to incorporate roles like Tanking, DPS and Healers/Support but I don't know how that will effect solo players. Maybe we can make dungeons specifically for team oriented raiding.

even though I'm a WoW player, I am not really a fan of the tank/heal/dps format. Everyone can be dps, but still have a way to interact.

Disabling spells (cc) is another way to make this work. If each class has the ability to "freeze" 1 mob for 10 seconds and that ability has a 10 second cooldown, they just have to coordinate who will use their freeze on which mob. 2 people can take out 3 tough mobs together as long they all attack the same mob and avoid the frozen ones.

Will some mobs make noise? Maybe you can't see them in the darkness
but when you start getting close you can hear their footsteps?

That'd be unique, a sort of stealth system. Lighter gear = less chance of being detected

Creating smart AI is a big part of what I want to do and have lots of experience doing.

To maintain the atmosphere and immersion foot steps from monsters and other sounds are going to be in for sure.
