General Discussion

Yeah, the fantasy genre has been beat to death.  So what I'm wondering is what genre would you all really like to see in an MMO that hasn't been done before?  What genre of  MMO has been done, yet you would like to see it done better?

For myself, I'm interested in The Agency.  I think the spy genre could be a fun change of pace.  I'd also like to see a Road Warrior / Car Wars (if any of you remember that pnp / video game), developed...sort of a Motor City Online (if any of you remember this EA fiasco - had some nice features, but really fell short of the mark) meets Unreal Tournament. 

As for genre that have already been done, but could be done better...a good pirate game would be nice.  PotBS was a disappointment in beta, and I haven't heard much better about it, thus far.  Also, a good futuristic MMO that includes space combat and ships, with ground exploration and combat as well.  I know many people like EVE, but for me it was just very boring and highly repetitive.  SWG is drastically showing its age, is clunky and has sub-par game play based on today's standards.   (And no, we do not need another flame festival about how SoE sucks because the NGE killed SWG) =P    

I think its time for some more Sci-Fi MMOs to be made (Star Trek Anyone????) not a fan of Stargate so that wouldnt be very interesting if I dont even like the show. Maybe Babylon 5 another Star Wars MMO perhaps, Battlestar Galactica or just something really creative and unknown and from scratch. Or better yet my fav movie saga of all the Alien Legacy, how about a Aliens MMO? Soldiers, Space, Corporations and Alien Races hmm and skill based as well. More sandbox MMOs are definetely needed

What about the Post-Apoclypitic MMO setting Fallen Earth?? Maybe a Fallout MMO????

What about a Grand Theft Auto MMO or APB?? Something new and fresh.

What about a Resident Evilish type MMO ?? That would be interesting to see if done right

How about some classics revived into MMOs? Like the old PC squad turn based game called X-COM series?

What about a real world military MMO, where politics, economies , and military control of their countries kinda like the SP game Superpower did?? Only less buggy and more content implemntation??

There are lots of MMO's that could be made into great games IF done right and are not rushed to the market.

Myself I hate fantasy game MMO's the old pen and paper games yes I can play D&D with the best of them but Orcs, Elves , and Knights are kinda getting old time to move on to something more creative and different and not try to clone WOW...

I would like to see a Fallout series MMo.

I would like to see an angels and demons mmo where you start as a lesser angel and try to become a lesser god and then a real god.  Panthons are filled with wars among gods so it would give some nice pvp.

They would have to do something about the gear though.  An angel in plate would look weird.

Quest would have to be different too.  I don't really think that killing boars as an angel would be nice.

There's place for development.  Quest could make peoples from lesser plans believe in us and these beliefs could be spent in abilities.  It could be different.

Wasn't Dark and Light kind of like that?

Maybe, I don't know.  I only tried it to level 5 I think and it appeared fantasy to me.  Maybe the lore was more  like it.  It it had been playable, it could have been fun.  hehe

City of Vampires vs City of WereWolves.  (done a little like CoX, but with the experience of the past...and the vs thing is fully optional and not enforced in any way)

Or a City of Medieval-fantasy concept...again with CoX as the basic inspiration guideline.

Don't see it ever happening,but Shadowrun gets my vote.

not sure if anyone knows this rpg or not, but i would kill to play a Cyberpunk MMO. Based in Night City, was a talsorian game......but don't think it is any more.

A Harry Potter type mmo would interest me. That or one that is based around Greek or Norse mythology.
