With 16 years of MMO gaming under my belt, I think I've played most worth mentioning and I'd like to ask the lot of you, which MMO would you like to see make a comeback? A comeback could mean a repopulation of the original or a modern recreation of the older game (done well) and everyone starts as a newb<----impossible I know, but this is a fantasy. I'd like to hear what tons of other Vets think.
Now: Skyrim |

EQ was the only game on the list I played, so I put my vote there. Would it succeed today? I doubt it. Would it be fun? Possibly. Depend on what they did to it. - Al Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. |

This poll is crap as it does not have the single best FFA PvP MMO ever created and that is Asheron's Call/Darktide server.

I chose SWG because it was the only one I was close to buying.

You do not want to go there. The bastardization of a remake of your favorite game would make you cry.

It would take some work and folks might not consider it to be the same game, but it would be needed in my opinion to prevent some of the problems experienced...but that would be Shadowbane. It's kind of funny, because in various threads over the years - I've talked about how certain games would be better (definitely an imo thing) - if they received heavy doses of Shadowbane (or even EVE) to them. As I type this, that MoP background ad is there. WoW was always one of the games that easily fell into my thoughts on imagine what it would be like if it were more like Shadowbane with a side of EVE. I start to drool. The same goes for so many of the games out there. Shadowbane was far from perfect, I'll be the first to admit that. But it's almost always my first pick for a game I want to see reborn/remade. For a period of time there, I kind of wished that CCP made Shadowbane 2.0... then again, sometimes that was just a case of wanting a Fantasy EVE. I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again? Explorer: 87%, Killer: 67%, Achiever: 27%, Socializer: 20% |

Since EA has repeatedly stomped on all my hopes of ever seeing a 3D UO, I'd have to go with Asheron's Call.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Played UO and really enjoyed the class less level less system. I would absolutley love to see the game remade with production level and quality of a game like GW2 and as seamless as Vanguard.

I’ve been playing MMORPG’s for a long time. My first experience with them was with Everquest. It was an eye opening experience since it was the first time I saw what the internet and gaming put together to create this virtual world where anything was possible. I enjoyed the fantasy element and the character progression, but most of all I enjoyed the social element. Most of us that played the game in the early days had no real idea of what to do and we died a lot. Slowly we began to get it and progress steadily through the game. Eventually everyone I knew began to leave or take a break from the game. I also left eventually, but the game made a deep impression on me and it remains one of my favourite games I played. Not because the game itself was fantastic, but because of the community. I took a break from MMO’s after that. I tried to get into some games, but at the time I was just too busy. But the next game I tried was World of Warcraft. I have a love hate relationship with the game. I was never really comfortable with its looks or atmosphere but enjoyed the raids and the fact you can just relax and have a stress free couple of hours. The game has changed a lot, and not always for the better. But it’s a game I return to when all other games seem to fail. Yet I always felt the game was very superficial but enjoyable none the less. My next game was EVE. It was stressful, rewarding sickening, exciting and a lot of the time, dull. Imagine flying your mining barge at some empty place in 0.0 for hours on end bored out your mind and being the only one online in your Corp as you flick through the chat channels trying to convince someone to help you move minerals when suddenly a vast fleet appears and starts taking over the system. The despair I felt when I saw our rival alliance slowly took apart what our corp worked on for the last 6 months was something I never experienced in any other game. Yet I was also part of a fleet that took over wormholes and systems. And I was also the pilot that would gank defenceless ships transporting BPO’s to gods know where. But Everquest was my first love, so it gets my vote. |

Voted for Anarchy Online because I'm sick of dragons, mediaval castles and lightsabers.

SWG. Star wars attracts players, ever. Ultima was good because we had played good offline chapters a few years before; in a similar way I'm waiting Elder scroll online (hope is the last one to die) . FF11 is still played and we'll see if ff14.2.0 will revive the brand.

I voted SWG, as EQ is being remade already I hope to see it bloom.
