Meridian 59 anybody?  Revamp the engine with a modern graphics engine and fix some lingering bugs.. still has the best PvP in existance outside of Eve.. and no one can dispute that... I really wish AC2 would've succeeded... that game was one of the first with graphics that really made me say WOW... this is gorgeous.  Both of those games would bring me full circle to nerdom

Tabula Rasa. A game that never got the attention and support it truly deserved.

Shadowbane. 

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Why? Simple. Because it is arguably the best and most fun game ever made. I want to review it just to get the chance to play it again.

Graphics: 9

Soundtrack: 10++

Earth and Beyond or AC2

My boyfriend told me about an MMO that was released in 2006 called Seed. Roleplaying was enforced, and it had a large dynamic storyline where you were a clone of someone from earth, and in the first part of the story you had to group together with other players to fix the space ship you were on. There were various jobs you could have like being a repairman, or being a gardener, etc. There was a lot of GM activity, and the story and quests changed based on what the players did. It sounded like a really good game to me, but it's dead now. 

Here's a couple screen shots (they are kind of hard to find). 

Precu SWG.  I'd love to go back and give it another go.  Especially with my new computer :)

Tabula Rasa. Its a game I always planned on playing but waited to long. I know it closed for a reason but would still liked to have experienced the game.

Heh, I feel the same way about TR, and also about Auto Assault.

I would almost vote Planetside, except that I'm more interested in a new MMOFPS (or Planetside 2).  They really needed to add new base types to have more variety to the indoor fighting though.  Although I suppose it's a tribute to how much I loved the game that I spent 3.5 years fighting in those same bases (well, a lot of combat happened outside too :P )

I already remade a game for fun :)

The original Risk Your Life...:) The game became one of my favorite games out there. I spent years modding the game from the private server files. I loved the WASD+Space Bar controls.

I have to agree with Gardavil2, so none should be revived.

As he said the community we once had is no more, we who began at the start of mmorpg's are just a minority towards the majority of people currently into gaming. We need to resort to the indie MMO's, but even those games are not save from the majority of players these day's who for some reason feel every single MMO made should be perfect towards every single player out there.

And all the good memories where brought to me due to how the community was back then, manyy of us are still here, but times have changed drasticly, some for the good, some for the bad, leaning towards the "want it all and want it now" type of players.

Those games of the past regardless how good many of us felt they where simply don't work with current gamers community, the majority of people lack patience, if they see a bug they want it to be fixed asap, obviously everyone wants bugs fixed, but at the speed many seem to want it just shows how impatient the current crop of players have gotten.

Fungwan online with 2010 GFX, game had some of the best PVP I've ever been in 2 day wars, town take overs and clan takeovers but due to GM corruption it was shut down

WoW level 60 cap

A Tale In The Desert

original idea of horizons (istaria): working together to unlock new parts of world, new races etc.

I think AC2 actuallyhas a shot at making a comeback.  Why not F2P it like LOTRO and DDO.  Turbine is obviously loving the item mall model, surely it wouldnt cost that much to do one server of it.

Another vote for SWG Pre-NGE.  This time no Jedi at ALL and just work on the fixed and expanding the game.  Best community I have ever been a part of.  I miss my Ranger, camps, my house and 25 man groups.

I think I'd probably go for Matrix Online, but only if they enhanced the graphics and added some new gameplay elements. I always kinda liked Matrix Online, but the graphics were kinda ugly and repetitive, and the game could have done with something more than "Run to mission, do mission, return from mission. Run to mission, do mission, return from mission.". The combat was quite cool though, the whole interlock thing, and I never got tired of leaping across buildings.

Of the dead games I cant think of a one I would want to see comeback. Of games near death I would say DAoC

Don't revive a thing, I want to start something new.  I am so tired of reading about WoW or how great SWG was or how PvP games need to be like DAoC.

That's all great, but give me something that utilizes the advances in tech we've had since those games came out.  We have Intel Core i7 Processors and DX 11, so I imagine that most games should be run with min requirements of at least a dual core proc with DX10 so that maybe we can get decent games.  I hate looking at these old games and I hate how little they really have to do when you boil them down.  Give me a fuller world  than any of the other games.
