With the limitations you have placed on your question I think you have invalidated your question.  As an aside, I would not play any of the MMO's on your list.

Someone give this man 300 million dollars to make a game!!!

You got this EA.

A western RPG might be fun. But I'm kinda interested in the industrial revolution period since it's the period in history that was the most dynamic and turbulent. I have always been fascinated with ages of great change and the industrial revolution changed everything. Imagine running around victorian London, Revolutionary France, Ottoman Empire, Prussia or the wild west during this period! Not sure what kinda game I would like though, maybe something like the Secret world but without the zombies.

City of Steam called and wanted to ask you if you like.

So...your question is flawed in that it's not what we would make...but what YOU would have us make.

By your own restrictions you've blocked out Vampire, Shadowrun, AD&D, Black Company, A Song of Ice and Fire, Discworld, Conan, and pretty much anything realistically Medieval or even historically based. 

You've limited it quite a bit, military is even questionable as they have dress swords. Cowboys and Indians are right out since cavalry used swords, sorry. Prison is questionable because they have shanks, which are knives, which are small daggers, which are small swords, which is a miniature version of a full sized sword. Sorry, that's out. 

Also, aside from you putting massive restrictions on the "what would you create" part of this, from the list of four things you suggested I get the impression that your confusing MMORPG with just MMO. Skydiving and rockband are NOT, in anyway, shape, or form, an RPG. That would be an mmo, basically just like playing with others on XBOX or PS3...except to be an MMO you'd probably have to have significantly more than just just 10-30 people.

So, I don't think I can give you a legitamate answer as to what I'd make in your image...

The Internet: the MMO

A social/action MMO for fans of everything about the internet.

Join your friends in the youtube screening room and start watching videos Myster Science Theater 3000 style.

Ally your self with the censors or the trolls, either police websites and destroy mobs of questionable content or screw with the websites to create flame wars.

The endgame would consist of every cat video ever.

1. Old west MMO with a red dead redemption feel

2. A good zombie apocalypse MMO with perma-death before you hit max level. Once you hit max level you get a vaccine to prevent you from being bitten unless you choose to play a zombie.

I am already working on a Mobile mmo, and it 'will' have Swords and Dragons.

It will cater to ex-WoW/Eq players who now have real lives and want to be elite raiders but only invest a few hours a week into the game.

Mobile is the future for mmo.  In 5 years players will be playing mmo's while they wait on the bus/train or between conf calls at work.

he remove only the fantasy games, so sci-fi are inside, space flight sims e.t.c. but cowboys and indians sounds fun

anyway ill prefer a SWG without jedis, simple as that

I'm not sure I'd even attempt an MMORPG. I think I'd aim at lower population, player run servers. 100 to 200 people online per server.

1) Wild, Wild West with Steam punk and a magic system based around religion more than Wizards. I think this could work as a sandbox game with players being able to own property such as farms, ranches or mines. Combat and PvP would play a major role in the game, but the land ownership would play an equally important role.

2) A Lovecraftian themed game, set in the 20's with some Steam punk elements. Players would be investigators or cultists. I think a mostly sandbox style game with player guilds and server factions and the goal is to either bring the old gods closer, or push them farther away. There would be combat and PvP, but it would be minimal. Combat was never a major focus of the IP, so it wouldn't be a major focus of the game.

3) Wizard of Oz. This isn't very fleshed out as a game setting, but I think it's an interesting IP and there's a lot that could be done with it.

That's not exactly true. Like I said on the last page the no magic, swords, or dragons thing removes, for example, Shadowrun (which is cyberpunk but has all of the above) and Vampire (which is modern day but has magic and swords). His restrictions rule out quite a bit honestly.

i would just make it epic, something that does nothing but make casual players so upset and mad they can't see straight. Something that hardcore players love and need to log on everyday to play. The casual player blast it on mmorpg.com for being too hard to play.

I would mix the following games into one SCI-FI MMORPG

1) Eve Online - awesome space combat, ships, crafting, economy, mining

2) World of Warcraft - awesome controls, fun, fluid combat, flying vehicles, mounts

3) Minecraft - create anything in the game from scratch including your base on your planet, your ship,etc. All items in the game can be broken down for mats and can be upgraded.

4) Skyrim - Leveling system like Skryim, but  there is no max level. You just keep gaining skills as you use them where it would take you 20+ years of play to max a character out.  Also, throw in Jeremy Soule for the musical score for the win.  

Star Control MMO

Dune MMO

And just for fun, an Oregon Trail MMO

The conditions are too restrictive. Seems like you want that people write about what you want to hear.

I like swords, magic and dragons. But taking account your condictions I would like to play a post-apocaliptic MMO,  similar to Fallout series.

Real time MMO, similar to TSW, but wih more freedom and exploring features.

And maybe sci-fi MMO. A game about exploring unknown planets.

My top 3...

1. Space MMORPG. Think SWG meets EVE Online.

Twitch based space combat with an EVE-esque universe...but add in meteor showers, solar storms that would temporarily mess with your ships electronics, comets, giant hollow asteroids to explore, planetary exploration, and building space stations.

2. Wild West MMORPG.

World based between the Appalachian Mountains, to the Pacific Ocean, and North to south from parts of Canada to Mexico. Complete sandbox.

Be a Horse Thief, Blacksmith, Train/Bank Robber, Gun Slinger, Cattle Rancher, Farmer, Bounty Hunter, Sherriff of a Town, Deputy, run a Saloon...whatever you want! Players keep the law and order, or the chaos that needs law and order present. The players decide.

3. Zombie Apoclypse MMORPG.

Based off of certain locations (Start in the U.S., U.K., Japan). No leveling. Progression would be based on your survival time without dying. You get skills based on your survival time (Craft weapons, Build vehicles, become a skilled booby trap crafter, etc.). Work with others to survive, or kill other players for their survival goods (Careful though...zombies see and hear you.) If biten...you become a zombie and can restart, or play as a Zombie and go after other players!
