Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

IF I was gonna make a MMORPG, which I wouldn't because I would never want to deal with the wall of dumb that is most MMORPG players, I would choose the Deadlands RPG or Interstate '76 PC game settings. Both would ideally suit open world play with heavy sandbox elements and both would offer a distinctive play style. |

Going back to my post regarding the Necroscope series. I forgot to add: In the world of Sunside / Starside (the origin of vampires), the vampires also rule from massive towering aeries built from a combination of rock & organic matter. They housed entire armies of their own creation ranging from their own lieutenants and servants, to flying creatures (similar to behemot grotesque stingrays) which they used as mounts, to creatures built into the towers themselves which did things like reproduce thralls, provide power to the rest of the place, etc. The aeries were a constant point of struggle between the vampire lords and they often fought eachother for control of more aeries or as a way for lieutenants to take from other lords to become a lord themself. Between the warring of vampires with eachother, the fighting between the gypsy tribes of Sunside / Starside, the fighting between the UK & US versions of E-branch vs Russian E-Branch and the KGB, and the way they all tie together and wind up ighting with eachother over various things theres a hell of a lot of factional warfare and territory control that could be implemented and would fit perfectly into the lore. There would also be huge differences in playing each faction. The vampires with their unique powers and monstrous creations, the gypsy tribes with fairly primitive technology but being skilled hunter / gatherers with a touch of mysticism, and the normal humans from our world each witht their own unique variations and uses of ESP powers and technology. |

What kind of mmorpg would I create? Probably a bad one.
If speaking in terms of genre, probably one of the following:
(I) Dystopian styled near future gritty sci fi. (II) Victorian(ish) steampunk. (III) Napoleonic Naval War/Exploration. (IV) Beowulf esque Northern Europe setting/age. |

I know this is against the op but seeing as WoD is being done I'd like to create Exalted Online. Otherwise I'd like to see an mmorpg where you have to survive after some kind of viral apocalypse (no zombies please they are overplayed).

Ghost in the Shell Online
Dear developers, In my humble and inexperienced opinion if I can get through all the content you spent the last 5+ years working on within 6 months you have not done your work justice. Please give me, and everyone else, some tools to create our own content from what you have made so I can stay in your world and appreciate it longer than three weeks before I say "meh". It's a shame and I'd rather not do that to something you put so much of yourself in to. |

Originally posted by XAPGames I could not stand Borderlands. I think if you sanboxed up borderlands and made it into an MMO you would have what you are talking about, and I know I would not play that. It would suck hard, although I am sure a lot of people will dissagree. |

I would probably still create one with swords and magic though maybe a bit more steam punkish but with some differences. The art design would be closer to a mixture of Neverending Story and Mirror Mask:
The world would be absolutely huge with limited fast travel in that some players would be able to take people to known parts of the map but otherwise you have to use portals. Areas on the main world can be claimed for housing but clan leaders would be able to carve out their own "pocket realm" a la Jack L. Chalker's "Soul Riders" series where they can set their own rules of their kingdom, the look, etc. Members can have their own housing, etc. However, there would be the need for resources, most everything player made, so there would be the need for markets to buy and sell (nope, no auction houses) areas where it was ffa pvp for resources/land. Also great character customization. Both in abilities and cosmetics. There would be classes but the classes but within the classed you could develop the class based upon skills/abilities you wanted. Very long leveling but also a wide leveling. No end game. What you do at level 10, whether that's waging war, becoming a trader, Monster hunting, etc, is what you do all along the game. You decide what you want to do and be and you do it. What you make of it is what you make of it. You want to run a kingdom? Carve it out. You want to be emperor? make it happen. You want to fight in the gladitorial arenas do it. become a trader? do it. the crafting system would be a bit like creating races in masters of orion where you could add positives but would have limited points and you could possibly add negatives. So fun fantasizing.

What about a "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" type MMO where a horrible accident has shrunk human civilization and mankind must now fight to survive agiant insects, critters and other predators that would pose a threat to them? Swords, spears, crossbows ect required.
