Ok I made an account largely just to comment on this topic.
Firstly:
But yet these are the same bunch of wankers who decided to give the go-ahead to Stargate Infinity - one of the biggest cartoon sci-fi spinoff flops ever.
Yes, yes I know all about Stargate Worlds; which granted does look really intersting. However, the original concept was an FPS - which you cannot deny would have been infinatly more interesting that your shit-standard MMORPG. Which honestly looks like another WoW rip-off along the same lines as RF online and Archlord.
1) This is and always has been my main argument with pokemon games since Gold and Silver. Stop limiting to 4 fucking moves! You bastards and Game Freak and Nintendo have the capability to do it! Stop sticking with "tradition" (which might I add is their SOLE reason for keeping 4moves - theyve admitted it). Give us just 6 at the minimum. 2 for attack, 2 for defence and 2 support type.
2) Take a leaf from Digimon's book. Add more variety. Make it so we can make more things than just Onix and Scyther hold "metal coat" to evolve them into metal forms. Don't go as nuts as what Digimon has with UberPerfectMetalWarGrayRapingEverythingMon. But the general idea still stands.
3) Get more people playing, other than stupid little kids who are freaking obsessed with fucking Pikachu and Jigglypuff, or the hardcore obsessed whom make perfect teams to counter any strategy all of whom have perfect stats because theyve bred them so many fucking times, Ditto looks more like swiss cheese than yoghert.
Also when the hell is the Smash Bros. style pokemon going to come out?!
Also Annoying Turd mentions a Dune MMO, which could, like anything, if done correctly, be freaking fantastic. You've got a million and one different houses and sects to choose from and plenty of basic classes to choose from, with racial specalities like the House Harkonnen Shock Troopers - which are mentioned in the books, who are virtually walking tanks. Simmilarly, Ordos Venom Troopers, the Imperial Sadukar Elites, and many, many more.
Firstly:
You left out d) the section of us that grew up on the original Warcraft series, as well as the "hardcore gamers" as was considered 15 years ago, who read the accompanying meda which was involved with the game - namely books; you know thats strange paper things. Problem with the old beings such as us, is not that we get our asses handed to us by 12year old brats with too much allowance and very little social skills, who dont even know that there are other warcraft games, or that we may not have the patience or free time to reach level 80 and get all the Epic Gear and then go out PvPing and twiddling our thumbs untill the next installment is released and we can continue our grind-fest up to level 90. No, our problem is that we are so disillustioned by the massacre that new-blood writers have made of the storyline that we simply don't want to play it.Entropy_kC said:
Alas, this would have been awesome, however, some fucknut in a suit said it wouldn't be economically viable to create a game that big. I hate to admit it, but look at WoW for an online example of massive areas. Oblivion and Morrowind, for offline examples of vast worlds. Then look at Eve Online for the vast space-scapes.Cajt said:

Ok I'm not sure about One Peice, however, if you look hard enough you can find a Naruto one based on the Ragnarok Online engine. Obviously nothing spectacular, but the elements you mentioned are in there.GodsClown said:
This could work. However, three main problems, as well as a host of little ones.needausername said:

I'd love to see a Jak and Daxter MMO, I loved the games as a kid and they would've made for an awesome MMO. I would also love to see dotHack MMO, it's an obvious choice you would think.
Stargate or Fallout MMO, although the setting for a Fallout MMO would be quite ruined just by it being an MMO.
To quote another person here on the Escapist:
"It's just you, the empty, post-apocalyptic Wasteland and 10 million of your fellow survivors."
Come to think of it, a Stargate MMO would have the same problem if you can only be a member of SGC, since the Stargate is supposed to be a secret on Earth...

The story in Warcraft is good, yes, but I don't think that the writers of WoW ruined it; things like the "Caverns of Time" (you go back in time and relive events of the RTS series) really add to the game. The only "massacring" of the story is that theoretically people like Illidan and Kel'Thuzad are dead. I'm not sure whether they've allowed players to engage in combat with Arthas himself, but I feel reasonably confident that Blizzard won't let him die, he'll escape and leave a chest or something for loot.BlauAugeDamon said:

Biblical reference to rivers? It'd be the Jordan or the confluence of the Ifrit and Tigris, which is somewhere between Baghdad and the Strait of Hormuz.
Your idea's interesting, but NPCs that spawn sounds a bit out-of-genre for a zombie massacre game. NPCs outside your explored and visible area that show up seeking refuge and bringing skills and/or supplies would be more like it, and in return for risking your life and using your supplies to go out and escort them into your haven you'd get the wonderful reward of being able to permanently kill zombies. With a world population going on 7bn, sure you'd have a job on to get rid of them all, but I hate meeting the same skeleton warrior with a silver claymore on that bridge while I'm moving stuff and people around. It's standing on nine destroyed skeletal warriors and I'm carrying their swords. It just should not be any more.

On the subject of a MMORTS, it'd have to go awfully slowly to protect the game worlds from being taken over by kids in their parents' basements living on Doritos, chocolate and Red Bull during the school holidays.

Mad thought: MMO Sim City (as long as it's not made by EA and actually a virus masquerading as a game)?
You, sir, have fantastic taste....Daedalus1942 said:
Being made by BioWare is the ONLY thing that could tempt me into an MMO. To this point, I have managed to avoid MMOs like a dripping case of ebola...but Old Republic has me so....tempted!!!
(And Jade Empire would be like actually waving the crack pipe under my nose...)
Pokemon MMO. It's such a fantastic amazing idea that I'm surprised it hasn't actually happened yet.
Ok not wanting to start a total flaming war with an obvious WoW-fan, but serously its taken them untill the 2nd addon to try to really coherently tie it in with the other storyline, with the flashback dungeon thing.Entropy_kC said:
Honestly, I kinda miss the days when the trolls were crazy shamans or spear-weilding nutjobs, and everything was more racially orientated, when one species appeared as maybe only 2 classes.
By the way, why the fuck is Arthas like 12 foot tall?
Possibly my dislike of WoW is because, at the time it was released I was an utter fanboy and drooling over the thought of being a Taruen, running around and smacking people with my hooves, and thus had pre-ordered it 3 months before its release date. And then was sorely disappointed at the end result. Being naieve as I was at the time, thinking that the trailers were in some far-fetched way a representation of the real thing. Which turned out to be more like the first Fable, with big feet, hands and heads, and a general feel of cartoony-ness, rather than a serous attempt at a game based on such an epic storyline.
I don't even play WoW any more, so I'm not really a fan of it as a game, I'm a fan of the UoW (that's Universe of Warcraft) though.BlauAugeDamon said:
Yeah, I originally (before the game came out) wanted to play as a Necromancer, alas the class wasn't included. I think it's a bit silly that all races can be DKs, all but one warriors etc. There should be a balance over the factions, but there should be more classes like the Druid which only one race per faction can be.
My only guess is to make it so you can see him when you eventually fight him.
I guess the difference (for example having Death Knights that aren't Undead) is due to the fact that WoW is set 3 years (I think) after WC3, so a lot has changed in that time.
And now to destroy all credit and credibility i may have gained through my 218 postings on this forum, but I actually enjoyed Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. My main whinge would be that sometimes the difficulty curve gets screwy with monsters and bosses, and my other whinge would be the story lacked a bit, but apart from that, i quite enjoyed it. (That and the fact it was on the DS) *shudder*Uilleand said:
I pray that never happens. I love playing as the marines single player campaign and shitting my pants when my torchlight goes out. MMO would destroy that sense of dread.Q-Tarantula said:
star trek universe where you can actually explore planets instead of being in the ship all the time and play as ALL the species shown in all the series.
