Alien Vs Predator I wouldn't see this that much as an RPG with a level system but more like end game PvP, like farming honor in WoW at cap level. Only discarding the leveling up process. Predators would be gear based and Aliens skill based. I would so much like to see the Predator culture explored. Underwold Now the war of vampires-werewolves has been in most people's mind, even from the World of Darkness era. I would love to see this game offering possibilities to play your character both in modern age and the middle ages, not in a linear story fassion but more like an ability to change from one era to the other whenever you want. Star Wars: Legacy What I like most for an MMO in Dark Horse's vision of the Star Wars future is the Imperial Knights. Those who've read the comics know what I mean, it is a perfect setting for an MMO, with 3 factions, the Jedi, the SIth and the Imperial Knights who are basically the "gray jedi". Highlander I see this game more like instanced large areas where 2 people can enter. The rest of the world should be solo play. You start at modern age and the higher you rise in strength by winning duels, you can unlock older historic Eras. Each time you get beheaded you reroll another immortal who is a tiny little bit weaker to your dead one. Your stats and progress in essence remain with a minor penalty for each loss.
How do you like these ideas and what are your dream IPs?

NONE. IPs are too serious of bussiness to do anything out of house these days. |

I can think of Eve only. AoC, Lotro, SWG, Matrix failed even with a solid IP. So starting from scratch is financial suicide IMO. |

I thought Marvel Universe was a great idea and I was sad to see them pull out of the deal. Dune would make a great MMO if it was done properly. Grand Theft Auto would be interesting with rival factions and gangs you could do missions for. |

I picked Underworld since I love me some Vampires and Were-creatures. However, I did tear up at the thought of a Highlander mmo. Unfortanately I think the lore would be more dificult to impliment. -Almerel

But thats exactly his point. MMOs today are all about attracting the most subscribers. Its all business. What we want is innovation, something new and different, not the same old cookie cutter grinds, amirite? I like some of the ideas you posted. Sound pretty cool, and some would be pretty innovative. But, like paulscott said, IPs are too serious business. If those games were to ever be made, we would not see those features. We would just see the same old shit, with different graphics. All that being said, I would love to see AvP made into an MMO. But only if I could play as a marine. |

Well, Underworld would work well but CCP/White wolf are working on their "World of darkness online" and underworld is kinda a copy of that, so the original will probably be better. Highlander could be intresting. Alien could maybe work but A vs P would not, mabe as a massive FPS but not as a MMORPG. And while SW: Legacy surely could work I think that we will get most of that SW action in TOR. The IPs I expect to pop up soon are Wheel of time and Narnia. |

I accept that. On the other hand I believe an MMO is nothing without subscribers. And quality alone never survived anywhere. So IPs are a necesary evil when WoW holds the market by the balls.
And you'd play a marine?! OMG :D You are one of those people who are responsible Bounty Hunters will be able to solo Jedi in TOR!!! |

Mass Effect. I think they made an amazing universe and story for an MMORPG or MMO in general. |

Highlander would might be fun if it was set up right. I think instancing would kill it though. |
