1) Old west-sandbox 2) Ancient Rome also sandbox-ish |

If I was a billionaire I'd make a Farscape MMO.

The problem I see is this:
1. Take away swords and melee as combat, and you're left with guns. 2. Guns don't translate well with tab-targeting, that leaves third or first person aimed combat. 3. Put hundreds of players into a world with third / first aimed targeting and the players will expect it to be a deathmatch shooter. That blows PVE.
Without PVE the game ends up as a PVP shooter with territory control, and you lose the PVE'ers expecting to quest-grind, run dungeons, and raid. They'll yell on the forums that it's not a "real" MMORPG.
What would I create? Heck if I know. I've been banging my head on this for a while now.
Would a non-sandbox PVE Sci-Fi MMORPG with first person shooter combat appeal to anyone? I sort of doubt it. |

Survivor online. Players would have to perform tasks in some remote location as a group. Plus each day they'd have to vote for some of the group to leave, assuming not enough of them died during the day. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

But even guns and starting to turn old. Lets face it, fantasy is popular because its well liked and it tends to make the most sense.
Still, I'd enjoy the kind of Phantasy Star Twist, taking those dinky swords and turning them into beam swords and taking medieval combat evolve into futuristic combat. Simple, I know, but its always so interesting how fresh it can make a very common system look by just twisting it in such a way. |

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. |

Hmmmm, maybe a game based of the Road Hogs RPG. A post appocolyptic Raod Warrior style of game that allowed us to modify vehicles and mutated animals are the races. Make it a sandbox, a themepark just wouldn't cut it for this one. |

Dues Ex World, which exists in it's own alternate realm so they can keep making awesome DX games. It wouldn't even have to be massive as long as it is a very fun game to play while interacting with atleast 4 other players. |

I'm not sure how that would be adapted into a dungeon run. |

I would create one with shiny metal sticks that you can stab giant flying lizard like things with. Watch out for their hot lizard breath though.

Sci-fi MMORPG from some distant planet where men fight against various kinds of aliens. With professions like researcher, scientist, crafter of alien tech, alien hunter (someone who would be able to capture live or dead aliens for further research) etc. Apply some of the xcom principles in MMO. I dont know if it would work, but it seems interesting and probably with a lot of potential. You can come up with interesting professions, crafting systems, technologies. Playing: Nothing atm My game concept thread: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/369707 (any feedback appreciated) |

But ... but... I like swords and dragons. Anyway, I think a Victorian setting with a werewolf theme could be awesome. I've always liked werewolves, and depending on your form, perhaps you could infiltrate places or otherwise have access to areas you wouldn't as a wolf, and I think the factions would be pretty obvious. Maybe there would be players in your town that were actually werewolves and you wouldn't know it unless you paid attention to the community; giving you another reason to stick together. Maybe you're questing with someone, and suddenly they attack you and it becomes PvP.... just don't get bit! no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Axes, psychics and Spinx's Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. If monsters ate people, it'd be in the news. |
