My choice doesn't quite fit the topic because it's Sci-Fi.  I think Starship Troopers would make a fantastic MMO.  Campy content, lots of fighting, advancement in the military (multiple branches), gear oriented combat... it's almost too easy.  Watch the movie 20 times then start building.

No, really DON'T watch the movie. It was probably the worst book to film translation I've ever seen. Read the book 20 times and start building.

 

Personally I'd like to see David Gemell's Drenai series translated to an MMO.

I've thought about this in the past and love to see one made but based more on the anime then the movie.

i've never had a chance to read the book but did hear the anime was based a lot closer to it then the movie.

For D&D ips what about dark sun, or grayhawk, birthright (that is one of the settings i gew up in playing.), but i would agree ravenloft's systems and machanics would be interesting to see inmmos like the system for becoming a darklord.

None of those, I want an original IP.

Question for others though: Was their ever a Dragon Lance MMO? because I remember when I first was interested in MMOs and found out about a Dragonlance one...however I look now and can't find any info on it. How I found out about it was looking up example of MMORPGs, it was long before I found  this site.

Probably thinking of old old SSI Dragonlance Gold Box Series:

None of the above. I would choose GW2. A Palladium Books RIFTS would be a nice MMO but I do not think that current tech can do it and make it work.

Baldurs Gate

Gritty, dark scifi/cyberpunk game with organized, corporate high-caste humans living in big cities VS anarchist, low-caste humans living in deserts, sewers, scrapyards etc, and some work as servants. Through evolution a notable breed difference develops between these two parties. Space travel so advanced, that couple of close planets are habitated and mining of minerals extends to outskirts of the galaxy.

Later in the game's story maybe Skynet or aliens, I don't know which! The cheesier the better. No, ZOMBIES.

After reading the title of the thread, I immediately thought Wheel of Time.  So happy to see it was included on the list :)

Return to Ispar.

based on the events some time in the future of Dereth when most of the human inhabitants finally found a way to return to their home world of Ispar.  Auberean, the world where Dereth is located in the Asherons Call universe.

Basically I would create an Asherons Call 3.  :)

I voted for Dragonlance but I would prefer an original IP. Dragonlance is pretty good for a fantasy setting and you can have lots of different races. I would love to ride a (Dragonlace-type) dragon, too.

(Wow I had to validate the fact that I am human to post this!)

Planescape: Torment

Blade Runner,  thats including the books too.

Wow tough one because I love both Forgotten Realms and Dragon Lance, but if I had to choose I'd go Forgotten Realms.    If I had made the list though I would have added Elf Quest!

Elf Quest would make an awesome IP for an MMORPG.    You can now read online, for free, every Elf Quest graphic novel in print.  Just click >>> here.

I know with all these skyrim thing going on, but i really wanted TES MMO, combining all regions.

I thought that, was going to put it down then saw your post.

Really an IP with endless settings and possibilities that all hinge around Sigil, the city of doors.

Malazan book of the Fallen series by Steven Erickson. Very deep amazing world.

or samari jack

Read the first WoT book and it was amazing, just a shame i got side tracked by school and didnt read the rest. Maybe if i get my knidle this xmas i will read the rest. A mmo based off WoT i think would be amazing. Also loved the Mistborn trilogy and the chronicles of the necromancer.

ravenloft.

Have you played Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines? I think it has quite good take on vampires (without apocalyptic setting), but I didn't play it far though. A lot of people regard it well. You probably have played it though, I'm guessing.

E: Of course it set in some book or something, but I know nothing about that! Oh right, World of Darkness is being made by CCP, or perhaps it's scrapped idea.
