attracted by this hot topic title by Harry Potter  MMORPG.  Is this game famous only by its name? 

I would play it if it came out........but it would not last long....games that are reruns of movies, books,  or t.v. either dont seem to last long....dont maintain a large crowd ....or just die before they get out of beta....

we know the begining of the story,,,,,,the end of the story,,,,,,we just hang around  long enough to see what the devs did to the middle :)........i think thats why eq and wow did so very good.....from begining to end a new wild world unseen and unheard of before......so devs if u are listening......:)

boring to view all posts. anyone know  when will this game come out? 

So this is what happens when MMORPG.com makes a thread about Harry potter. I lost count of the novice member kiddies wanting to play their fav school hero, Mr. Potter in an MMORPG.

But seriously, why do all the novice people come in here when we mention harry potter? Also, why did the OP even think that it's a good idea to make a harry potter mmorpg. Lame.

EDIT : LOOK ON THE FRONT PAGE -.-

Non-condescending version: It's not coming out.  This is just an idea/wish thread. EA considered making a HP MMO, but no one cared enough about it to do anything with it.

I would love to see this game put through, but it has to be done right. If it's done right, I think it could succeed. Here are some ideas:

You would first create your character (You have to create a unique one, everyone can't choose to be Harry/Ron/Hermione). You choose which school you want (Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons etc.) Then maybe you can have some stat points and different types of magic to choose from. You could put stat points in Transfiguration, Charms, Care For Magical Creatures, Herbology, Potions, Defense Against The Dark Arts, etc. These could correspond to what you want to become once you graduate. If you had put a lot of points into Care For Magical Creatures, you could work with Dragons like Charlie Weasley. An Auror (Dark Wizard Hunter) would be balanced in near all these schools.

You would start at the school you chose, and be sorted. I haven't thought of a decent way to do this, as a quiz sounds too simple... But depending on which house you were sorted into (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or others if you chose a school other than Hogwarts) you would have different experiences than you would of had you been sorted into another house. This way, players can create more than one wizard and have a unique experience each time.

As you level, you gain more stat points. Using these stat points will give you access to more classes, and more complicated and powerful spells.

PVP in Hogwarts could be a combination of Quidditch and/or Dueling. Quidditch would be multi-player PVP. You would meet friends in the quidditch court, and form a party for a quidditch team. Each player would be assigned a position. Then you would go against a different school.

Dueling would be more 1v1 PVP. You would have to challenge another player to a duel, or perhaps a randomly selected opponent. You would have to voluntarily duel another person. It would be chaos if people could run around shooting spells at will. Dueling another would not "kill" them (at least not while your still in your school) you would duel until one person has defeated or disarmed the other.

Once you graduate, that's where the real fun begins. You can choose a profession, depending on what you "majored" in at your school. Work in the Ministry, become an Auror/Death Eater (or just a Dark Wizard if Voldemort hasn't risen to power yet/has been defeated depending on the timeline of the story), work with Dragons or other Magical Creatures, become a wandmaker and study wandlore, etc. All these professions would give you a fully unique experience.

Just some thoughts...

omg, i thought this game will coming out in the near coming days.  But still a good idea to nake a vote here.

I'd play it forsure but maybe it's just because i'm a die hard fan :P. I think it would be interesting and i've been hearing quite a bit that they're going to make one, I guess we will have to just wait and see.

Were you aware that there is a game called Lord of the Rings Online?  You haven't heard of it?  It's been around two years and is still going strong.  And, even though we all know the beginning and end of the story, one of the main attractions is the Epic Questline where you follow in the footsteps of the Fellowship.  Going through Moria is worth the price of admission all by itself.  So, I believe that your premise is completely wrong.

I would loveeeeeeeeeeeee to have a harry potter MMO.    But I wonder how they would work it.  After the Books? During? Before?

Would be so much fun.

Books were ok but the movies suck,bet game would be even worse.

No, I don't want anymore Harry Potter games, movies, or books.

I've been trying to spread the word about this for years.  Wouldn't it be nice to play a Harry Potter MMORPG.  Well my site is all about that.  It's a gathering place for people with the same interest.  We're gathering ideas and gathering numbers.  If we can show people that there is money in this idea, it'll be done.  Check us out.

I heard rumors of turbine making it as a console mmorpg for xbox 360 and ps3, just a rumor though.

I agree entirely. An RPG that plays on a book series I read as a child, and treasured, and wished they'd made more of? Excellent.

I love your sig, I have a pug.  Let's get married.

Also, HP MMO needs to be released soon. Kgo.

In that case, my IGN would be Dumbledore? Don't steal it from me! Please

I'd so play it, but I don't think it will ever happen.

If they can't even make a good single player HP game, how could they make a good MMO based on it?

Besides should they make a MMO based on Neil Gailmans "The books of magic" instead, Rowling stole almost anything from it including the owl. She only changed the name of Tim to Harry.

Gailmans universe (which include Sandman also and Hellblazer) would work better for a MMO.

Before you bash me, read the first hardback of books of magic and remember that it was made before Potter. The kid even have the same friggin glasses.

  didn't read the thread , as almost none of the threads here are worth reading... I'm sure it went something like "

  "omg a harry potter game could be cool"

 "no idiot it would suck"

 "nuh uh"

etc..........

 That said...quidich ala WoW style arenas ftw.

Edit : yes, i see the irony in my post vs the sig. Is a sig I use on several sites...including a few where threads are actually sometimes intelligent conversation.
