All other Warsites>Only-War

I had seen somewhere, there was a Western MMO in development but can't seem to find any information online about it. I know a number of people was talking about the game here but didn't find anything in the topic search on it.

Any help in finding it or the name would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

White american cowboys versus american indians would be a very touchy subject for MMOs at best and with elements like PvP could be worst. So I don't think people would welcome real life controversial themes such as these for mmos. It's the same as making MMO with Russian vesus American cold war themes.

Google "MMORPGMaker" if you want to make your own MMORPG.

It's not controversial, IMO. There's not many Russian vs American cold war themes because the Americans and Russians didn't fight each other in the cold war. That would be a pretty boring game.

There's certainly plenty of Vietnam and WWII themed games, as well as Civil War games.

 

If you really want to get controversial do a Christians Vs Muslims MMO set during the Crusades.

At the time of cowboys and indians, there were but all of them were slaves, really sad actually =\.

Not until the civil war did some slaves actually gain rights.

Most of the cavalry troops that fought in the plains indian wars were (black) "Buffalo Soldiers" and they were good soldiers.

 

Here are the links to the Wild West online games that are being planed or developed.

well thats not exactly correct. this is a map from the 1850's. the 'time of cowboys and indians' wasn't exactly the minute columbus landed

many indian battles/wars took place after this map
sioux wars
navaho wars
rogue river war
third seminole war
ute wars
red river war
little bighorn
woudned knee
and tons of other skirmishes
