I just got an okay idea for a Hogwarts/Harry Potter game.. First of all you would choose if you want to be black magic or normal magic, if you choose black magic you can only choose slytherin. If you choose normal you can choose all the other houses (the houses will be like classes, so the different houses will have different spells). There could be around ten levels; The first 7 represents one year at the school, after the first seven years you can choose a proffesion, then you'll have 3 more levels. There will be many different skills that you could get just by going to a class, or using them. So if you choose to go to a lot of transfiguration classes you would be godd at that, by learning transfiguration you can maybe transfigurate racks to beasts (or something like that). The level system will work like most other games, the more enemies you kill (or quests you do) the faster you will level up. By going to a class you would maybe learn a new spell, the spell system would maybe work like this: If you hold down the left mouse button, and move the mouse in a special shape (like a square) you will do a spell, the more complex the shape is the better the spell. There will be several events (maybe twice a month) where you can learn spells you can't learn anyways; if you've missed it there is no way to ever get the spell again, however most spells will be normal spells that you get from classes and quests (spells like wingardium leviosa, or rictusempra would be normal spells that you would learn anyways). With this system your character will most likely be unique. There should be no skill caps, and there should be a rank list for the people who are the best at each subject. The PvP would maybe be the duel club from the second club, however, in the forbidden forest you could maybe have fights between dark and good magicians. Sometimes there should be events from the books (Warning: spoiler allert!: like the last battle with Voldemort, there will be a Voldemort spawn deep in the deepest parts of the forbidden forests, maybe the chamber of mysteries would open so you could kill the basilisk, or maybe the triwizard tournement). The diagon alley would be the place to buy the best wands, robes, cauldrons, and maybe stock up on some potion ingredients.

That's all for now, will add new ideas when I get some :)

It'll never work you could never get the rights for it

I know that.. it's just for fun... -.-.. And it's just the concept of a wizardry school thing.. It doesen't have to be Harry Potter

I would do a Dark School then.

You can choose one of several fantasy races in character creation; such as Human, Darkelf, Gray Dwarf, etc. You can also choose between male and female; all other pupils in class will be of the same gender, though.

You can choose to be Mage (Necromancer), Priest, Assassin, or Knight. All of these will have a different focus in their learning, but will learn necromatic magic as well. Knights will also learn the useage of heavy armor and weapons. Assassins will learn thievery and stealth. Priests will learn how to steal health from victims for healing themselves or allies, learn protective spells, etc. Mages however will completely focus into magic alone.

Teachers will be liches. There will be a lot of undead servants as well.

The area will be in the underground, well hidden. There will be very nasty animals and evil races in the neighborhood.

Quests will usually be rewarded with learning new spells. You will often get a choice what spell you want to learn. You can however not learn all spells, not even as a necromancer.

The class will initially be of 13 pupils, you yourself and 3 of each of the 4 character classes. The first quests will be done for getting allies; depending upon your initial choice, you need to get one of each of the other three classes into your group. You will have 3 choices for each of them.

You will have full control over the 4 members of your group.

After you have chosen your group, you will be asked to kill one of the three pupils who share the same class as yours, and afterwards, the remaining 8 pupils not in your group will form two concurrence groups as well.

As reward for killing your classmate, the teachers will kill you and raise you afterwards, a process that will grant you the first necromancy spell.

The following time you will have to do various quests for knowledge, various quests for exploring the harsh environment, getting "human material" for your experiments (Crafting undead minions), and killing the two other groups of classmates (for even more human material and for the proof you're stronger). Finally you will have to compete against the remaining group of the other class (of the other gender) that basically did the same. As your final exam, you will kill two of them and get the remaining two for completion of your own group, for two options of romance interests.

And in part 2 of the game, you will attempt to gain lichhood yourself.

If you go that rout then i think the game would be a hit (as long as its not called harry potter). I dont nessecarily think i would go his way with the knights and everything but to each his own you know. Keep me posted and Maybe i can hook you up with some good software for your project.

I hope a Harry potter MMO never sees the light of day.

How dumb would that be?

I'll answer my own question:

Very dumb.

Harry Potter sucks.

MUAHHAAHHA I have an epic Wand, feel my pwning force of my Wigardium Liviosah!

omg! Just got ganked by Flipendo' again, damm Hogwarts PvP arena

Yeah, I am like the OP, I like to set down and think of New MMO's that could be made and how I would make them. I had a whole Idea for Stargate (then about 2 years later Bam its being made, THAT WAS COOL). I have thought of a Harry Potter, My Idea was kind of like this:

You start by pick gender of course, then as far as races go there would be Human, half gaint, half vella (or how ever it is spelled) and maybe one or 2 others. Then you custom your toon's look, then you move to the sorting hat, and it would be in the great hall with students and all, and there you piick your house (this would start the stat changes, each class has its own + and - to its stat). from there you get some very basic quest to get you use to the school. Then you have to choose your classes, and through your classes you are able to customize your class. But I would want it to be more of a basic skill basic game then lvl grind (Would have to work out more detials) As you get better in each class that is able to be take that year, you can move to the next year and pick more classes etc. And between classes and training you can do side quest in the forest, in hogs mead when you get to the right year etc. Then you would have to then passes the Newts, and OWLS. And for a travel you would have to pass the broom flying course and the apperision class. After you leave School thats when you start to really get to use your skills, And have it where you can open up shops to sell crafted items (from candy that increase's stats to gag items like Goerge and Fred, etc). Have a house, do qyest to work for Greengots or The MoM departments. And have live advents going, like He who should nto be named attacking (and for this it would be PVP, and at some point in and outside of school you can make the choice which side you want to be on, or even start your own thing). Guilds would be like the clubs and others that are in the books and movies, it starts out with a club like DA's after gettng enough members and doing meeting and club quest you move up to a Social club repeat, move up until you get to the lvl of the Order of the Phoenix or He that should not be named's group.

But this are just some of my thoughts I have came up with, I have alot more just havent posted them or this would be a 100 page post.

sorry I was so winded.
