Next big MMO that you would like to see?

Me.
Rifts.
Enough said. That gawd damn world has about 8,000,000 ideas.
What about you?

Oh and maybe Dragonlance but that is slowly passing into history.

I want to see someone take a stab at a solid Sci Fi MMO. I know that there have been rumors of Relic working on a 40K MMO have gone around for a couple of years now.

There was a rumour about Fading Suns which is basically a 40k but with even more background and a slightly more Dune feel to it.
But it died out too.

I thought THQ was doing the 40K MMO?

But that gets my vote. Tons of universe history to it, strong emphasis on kicking ass, etc.

Hoping Otherland turns out well; that's a serious attempt at an MMO that breaks the standard cliches and formulas.

pomeroy · 10-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Song of Ice and Fire.

No, I don't know how to do it.

Just do it.

This.

It's why I'm really hoping WAR will do well; I want to see a 40k version given the green light, only I'd like to toy with the idea of each player running a squad instead of a single avatar. It'd be pretty interesting to see what could happen there. From what I understand, WAR is starting to better give the impression that there's a full-scale war going on. I think the best thing to further that impression would be to go from "hero" units that look like they should be unique but aren't to squads of actual soldiers, that can then be individually outfitted at the squad and soldier level. Futhermore, as a player progresses, you can gain access to hero units that can be the leader of the squad or can fight on their own temporarily (kinda like the monster mode in LOTRO, except you'd still be on the same team).

Sword of Shanarra MMO
so much good material to make a great game there...

in the meantime i'll also wait and see what Boiware coughs up next week.

I enjoyed SWG prior to the NGE fiasco. I can only imagine a Bioware SWG being infinitely more polished.

Imagine if you will.
2 version of Sword of Shannara.
Playing both the fall of the Earth and later within the main books fantasy world

You sir win.
Edit: OK that's just an AWESOME idea. *pumps fist* We need to make it so.

Hell yes!

and each time you used magic it would alter your character on some small but permanent basis!

Who wouldn't want to shout "Epic Creeper Raiding party seeks another Druid"

The squad idea was used in that canned MMO by some ex-Blizzard guy called Steig Hedlund. Gods & Heroes.

This game never got off the ground, right? That's a shame. I still say it'd be an awesome way to bring about a 40k MMO

ClannerDelta · 10-15-2008, 07:48 AM

I would like to see a 40k MMO... Done like Planetside. None of these lame quests, just a lot of drop pods and shooting people in the face.

Except the world of Gods and Heroes didn't seem that the world was built for squads with heroes.

I want the 40k MMO.

With squads... and no pointless running around the damn zone. You ride a drop pod in and you are on hub area ships otherwise. It should be both instance heavy and rely on an open world, depending on the zone.

However, I don't think the squad should be customizable as a party replacement. If your class is flamer... your squad will be flamers. If you heal, they heal.

Hopefully it is a dreadfully deep single player game with the character fighting to gain levels and soon command their own ships thus spreading to Multi

Xerxes · 10-14-2008, 09:54 PM

I like to call it Pokemon World.

squirrelTactics · 10-14-2008, 10:27 PM

Back in the 90s I played this RTS game a lot...I think it was called War-something. I dunno, I've always thought that would be really cool and popular if they made it into an MMO.
