Man a Bladerunner mmo would kick ass.. I would also like to see a Starship Trooper mmo sort of like TR but better heh.

Hmm not a lot of games series wanted :P

I meant fiction as in any universe be it literature, game, anime/manga.

I haven't read any concrete series since I was 12, just novels like The Da Vinci Code but that doesn't have what it takes to be a good MMO.

Here's a few I can think of:

Animorphs

Gundam

Fallout

Firefly

Bladerunner

Forgotten Realms

Avatar

And for the final suggestion, ReBoot--yeah, an MMO game about playing a videogame as a personification of the computer.  Players could play as either a virus or a gaurdian, the primary dungeons would be the incomming games, limited pvp would be gaurdians vs viruses, and server realms could be linked together for RvR via "the internet".

Shadowrun.

I like the number of people I see saying Bladerunner. That was my initial thought. Imagine such a pk world were you couldnt even tell who was a robot or a human and the consequences of such actions. Post apocalyptic and highly captivating. Dunno how they could to the main last scene in game justice tho

 R E Feist's Novels. Riftwar etc.

I agree with the idea of a Bladerunner MMO. Also with the Firefly/Serenity idea. Belgariad were horrible books and would make an even worse MMO, imo.

I'm reading a series, the Hollows, now that would make an interesting setting. It's slightly in the future but has witches, werewolves, vampires, pixies, fairies, leprechauns, etc. There's also a human police force as well as the Interland (non-human) police force. Not to mention all the werewolf and and vampire factions.

A friend of mine and I had thought an MMO based on the Dark Elves of Menzoberranzen could be interesting. But it would be largely RP'ing and guild vs guild.

I would like to see a game based on the Blade Runner universe and Dungeons & Dragons done right and in a Forgotten Realms setting.

I would love to visit the city of Balder's Gate again with a modern 3D game engine.

Call of Cthulhu

Babylon 5

Anything Verne-great idea.

Dune, Neuromancer, and Blade Runner would be interesting but I don't know if their 'universes' are big enough.

Xanth

Pern

I said it before, but Forgotten Realms. Forgotten Realms sandbox MMORPG would just be incredible (Action gameplay preferably).

 Dune all the way the prequels! With all the great houses,  your guilds not to mention you get a cool mix of sword and shield fighting with space and projectile weapons and future tech. 

My two suggestions were just posted previous to my post. :)

Dune - before the House series and after the Jihad -- Could be a different style MMO where it would be more of a political structure -- RTS style fighting with Sim like world development -- different players can form a house as different roles (it would be like a guild) There could be the Duke/King/Barron type that would lead then you could have various other player positions like Mentats, Generals, Diplomats. It would be a world of empire building in a MMO setting with a player politcal structure.

Dragon Riders of Pern - So much you could do with this.. Different classes such as Dragon Riders, Harpers, Medics, Lord holders, etc... Plenty of backstory to develop. Cool events when the thread drop. :) There were so many books you could pull a crap load of cool stuff from...

Avatar - My son watches that and I find myself strangly into the show. Good set up with different elements of power - Good story with the Fire Nation trying to take over the world. Could be a pretty fun game.

Darkfall... If you see what im sayin.

I have three choices I would love to see.

The first would be a post-apocalyptic theme, fallout-esque style.

Second would be like Monster Hunter series (they have a japanese MMO of the game, but the one I have in mind would be a lot larger and less instancing).

And the third would be an MMO based around Shadow of the Colossus, same gameplay and mechanics but add in a more development character system and itemization, etc.

Fallen Earth, from what i saw of the website, that's what it is.

someone mentioned it up higher : firefly

it would do good with space flight and landing (a bit a la Jump to light speed but with all ships being POBs (people on board) maned by a crew players or solo on board computer)

another good idea (but a tad less original) would be the underworld series

vampires and lychans and humans , would be perfect for bloddlines clans race mechanics

I personally would love to see a MMORPG off of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera Series

The Series was created on a dare that Jim could not write a good story based off of two bad Idea.  The ideas being The Lost Roman Legion and Pokemon.

What Jim did though was a book that is just perfect for an MMO.   It has a great Magic system that is well explained out and just screams for MMO type combat because Lore issues will never be a problem,

The Alerans (Humans) are a society based off of Ancient Rome and are decendents of the Lost Roman Legion but somehow (not really explained how yet in the series) got transported to another world called Carna.  But their is a ton of Political Intrigue, they even have a Duel System set up called the Juris Macto, and all alerans have the use of Furies (Elementals of Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Wood) and some have the abilities to use more than one of the furies and the First Lords can Use All 6 furies.

But their are also a ton of other races each with their own class type.

The Marat - Imagine Happa (half Japanese, half German) Barbarians who can combine with different animals  (they call them Chala or totems) and bond with them in a way that they can use the strengths each animals give them.

Theirs the Horse Clan (bond with Horses)

The Wolve Clan (bond With Wolves)

The Herdbane Clan (Thing of Ostrichs with super high leaping ability and an attitude)

And Gargant (Think of a Badger that is the size and strength of a Huge bull)

The Canim (Werewolve type of Race) that a heavy into Honor on the Battilefield.  The Canim are based off for castes.  The Warrior Castes, The Raider Castes, the Ritualist Caste, and the Maker Caste

Warrior Caste are Elite Warriors

Raiders are just regular consripts

The Ritualists are socerors who use a blood sacrifice from an intelligent Being to power their magic

Makers are just the everyday Canim.

The Icemen are a Sasqatch Yeti based race that can also use the furies that the Alerans can use.  Right now though not too much is known about them but in the last book of the series we will probably find out a whole bunch more of them.  

So the world is full of all the races who have a shaky relationship, and the alerans are also fighting amoungst themselves as their are a bunch of different realms in the land each controlled by a High Lord, and then the overall Continent of Alera has a High Lord who tries to keep everyone in check.  But their is also the Senate, political plotting and all that. 

The book just screams for an MMO tragically it will never happen.

Nothing would make me happier than a .hack MMO
