I just want to see another culture have a crack at the fiction whip when it comes to games. There are so many pre-colonisation stories that could be explored and expanded upon.

I like this idea

Nah I like fantasy MMOs.

I like to keep my sci fi to the realm of FPS games and offline RPGs and such.

tired of Medieval Fantasy mmorpgs- No.
tired of the same old same old classes -Yes.

Though I like Science Fiction, I have to say that it doesn't really draw me in as far as wanting to play sci fi games.

I purchased Fallout 3, saw that it was a good game but couldn't sick with it and went back to Oblvion. I can't get enough of it.. just wish there was "more".

As far as mmo's I am still waiting for the game that gives me all that I want. The problem is that i find a little bit here and a little bit there.

I really like the idea of Eve but it is a bit too hardcore for me for where I am in my life.

I don't know of any Medieval mmorpgs

I am a bit tired of fantasy based mmorpgs and would like to see some sci fi and cyberpunk games though.

Edit: I changed my mind a bit. I would like to see a Medieval mmo with a magic tilt to it, something similar to Ars Magica rpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_Magica

Absolutely.

Not only am I tired of fantasy games, I never liked the setting to begin with.  SWG got me hooked on the persistence of an MMO, but I unfortunately all my other options are cliché fantasy games that are all almost exactly the same setting.  I can't wait for the wave of space and sci-fi games to release over the next year and a half.  :)

I tend to really like fantasy MMOs over sci-fi...just my taste I guess

Actually, if you could take 'Medieval' and 'Fantasy' out of the title, that would describe what I'm getting very tired of lately.

The gaming industry has to be the least innovative of any industry in existance.

Can't you make your own new race in Star Trek?   

I'm not tired of Fantasy, but has any MMO done a really good insect race yet?  Wheres a good Mantis, Spider or Ant-like humanoid?   Its about time already.

This genre could use more good and well done fantasy MMO's.  People aren't tired of fantasy, they are tired of bad ones that we've had to endure these past few years.

Medieval is another story, the last good medieval MMO I've played was DAOC.  WAR isn't it, I can only hope Mythic can make a good DAOC 2.

I'm a big fan of deep narrative and imaginative worlds so fantasy settings are wonderful to explore. What I am sick of is this insistence that fantasy = elves, orcs et al.

I am also sick of levelling and combat. I want to build things, participate in diplomacy with other players, play a part in something meaningful and player created - not just hack my way through 1,000,000 zombies on my way to level cap. I've been playing MMORPGS for almost 15 years and I find they hold my attention less and less. If I want to hack and slash my way to a level cap, I'll pick up a good single player game. The social elements to MMORPGS have been completely overlooked and, when they are included, feel as if they've been tacked on rather than designed around. MMORPGS are now nothing more than an experience that can be delivered through a single player platform, without the need to subscribe monthly or arrange your RL around raid timetables. If I am so hung up on team driven experiences I can play online mode of almost any FPS - and let's face it, the poor FPSs do it better than the best MMORPGS.

The state of MMORPGS is poor, very poor.

Yes, it's been done to death.

I love fantasy, but we could use a little more diversity in our MMO's.

I am sick of faction based pvp. I want to be able to stab everything whether its a good decision or not. I WANT THERE TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR BEING AN A-HOLE. hopefully one of these set to release soon mmo's will have some good free pvp

Are you tired of Medieval fantasy MMORPG's?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not tired of medieval fantasy, in fact I think we need more, and that is because nobody has as of yet done a truly enthralling fantasy-based MMO. Fantasy used to be a platform the amazing roleplay, great character development and the ability to do anything you want. Nowadays as long as you have a sword or can shoot magic fireballs out your ass you're in a fantasy game.

Hate to break it to everyone but yea, we need more GOOD medieval fantasy...

Pretty much this. Sick of the standard fantasy fare that has a huge lack of imagination and decent story and character development paths. I'd love it if there was a -good-, gritty, well thought out fantasy MMO made.

Not at all.

However, I'd do anything for a Wasteland-style MMO (or Fallout perhaps)...so maybe I'll look at Fallen Earth or something.  But, really, I like medieval fantasty-type settings.  I'd not mind a different take on things instead of the usual small evolution on Tolkien's bad guys and all, but still don't mind the general settings themselves.  My favourite fantasy setting to date is still the original Asheron's Call.

Not tired of Medieval Fanatsy MMOs. Give me more power crystals anytime. And as long as I can play an human, elf or something in between, I am good to go.

Medieval Fantasy? I'm a bit tired of the old tolkien based fantasy lore around, but a good game overall can make me forget how the MMORPG lacks originality for that part.

Now about medieval,  is there a noticeable medieval MMO out there now? Medieval to me is just like Mount & Blade did,  even not being MMO, it was inspired in the Middle Ages, without magic, monsters or any races rather than humans, equipment does not make your character godlike and so on.

Tired of fantasy games in general.

I would love to see a good sandbox  medieval game.    Along the lines of Roma Victor... just not based around ROME.   Although that is a good concept and totally different...

I would also love to see a sci-fi game set in a completely different setting....  space is great, ships are great, but what about a sci-fi underwater MMO?    Or one that doesnt envolve anything close to a human in it?   

Perhaps bring back some classic stand alone games into a MMO style game... XCOM UFO Defence Online..... that would be different and cool.    Or perhaps god forbid EA, gives up its rights to Multiplayer Battletech (MPBT) and lets someone actually produce that into a MMO.    

How about a Wild West MMO, or even a Roaring 20s MMO.      

There is so much more than the oh so tired fantasy elves and magic worlds out there.

Something new would be nice.  Where the f**** is white wolf?  Good lord.

And we need a virtual world MMO, stephenson snow crash, or Tron I don't care just pick one.  

We need a spy MMO, if agency doesn't work out someone else make one.

A pirate MMO. I know its been tried a few times, try again.

 I am a fan of science-fiction. But I am not tired of medieval fantasy. I am tired of generic fantasy, medieval or sci-fi.  Too much artist draw generic fantasy.  Only a few games have done a step outside the common cliches.

Vanguard did, with the tiger-people, and somewhat with the wold (dog?) people. Everything in morrowind whas original. AION has some originality, but most things are generic.

Almost all games are a bunch of the same 3 cliches, and this is boring.  Go read good science-ficiton / fantasy literature, there are zillions of settings to explore.

And If you have zero imagination. Get flash gordon, a medieval venus (mars?) with dinosaurs.  Get some really cool (and not generic)  steampunk:   1880 Space. 

Or a "Aliens" mmo, where you can play a alien drone, and infect people. 

I know generic work better (hence: Oblivium more popular than Morrowind) so any game that give a alien setting has to give a giganteous "generic" area for these people, but something original has to given, to let people feel in a different world.

Check out "Mount & Blade" Fantastic sandboxy indie 1 player medieval game. First time i played i looked at the clock and 6 hours were gone. Best combat for medieval game ever.

I am quite amused so many people in this thread assume that mediveal times had elves, dwarves, magic, and dragons.

You are wrong here.  We are talking about a setting we nickname "medieval", has nothing to do with something real.

The "fantasy medieval" *crap* is really old.  The Quixote was written to mock then!.   That was 1607, for you. 

No.

I'm just tired of Bad ones.
